Values required for Quantitative and Qualitative criterion within an inspection criteria set are recorded on the lines of the inspection criteria set window using Inspection Criteria Value Assignment Default Entry option. The following information is recorded on the inspection criteria assignments window accessed by selecting the Quantitative type:
Inspection Point: Indicates the LOGO section where the criterion will be used. This field contains the following options:
- Material Management Slips
- Purchase Receipts
- Sales and Distribution Dispatches
Sections where the inspection criteria will be used are checked. Inspection point defaults are defined using the Inspection Parameters option located in the Definitions menu of the Administration section.
Inspector: Indicates the user who will perform the inspection. Defined users are listed and a selection is made.
Inspection Tool: Indicates the tools to be used for inspection. Defined tools are listed and a selection is made.
Priority Level: Indicates the priority level of the inspection criterion.
Nonconf. Acceptance Rate (%): The field used to specify the material acceptance rate when given values are applied.
Inspection Frequency: Indicates in how many units the defined inspection will be done. For instance, a ratio of 1/10 indicates that 1 out of 10 units will be inspected.
Inspection Count: Indicates the number of times the inspection will be performed.
Sample Quantity: The quantity of samples to be used in inspection.
The fields on the Target Values section of the window are used to record quantities and tolerance limits of Quantitative criteria.
Nominal Value: Indicates the nominal quantity to be inspected.
Minimum Value: Indicates the minimum quantity to be inspected.
Maximum Value Indicates the maximum quantity to be inspected.
Tolerance: Indicates how much of the given minimum value for the goods that will be inspected is acceptable. This is calculated by the program according to given nominal and minimum values.
Tolerance: Indicates how much of the given maximum value for the goods that will be inspected is acceptable. This is calculated by the program according to given nominal and maximum values.
Inspection Frequency and Sample Quantity are calculated by processing the values specified on these fields and material transaction quantities in purchase and sales transactions.
The following information is recorded on the Inspection Criteria Assignments window accessed by selecting the Qualitative type:
Value: The value of the inspection criterion.
Description: The description of the inspection criterion value.
Example 1:
Assuming that the following values are entered on the inspection criteria assignments window of the material and that the material transaction quantity on the slip line is 2200 grams;
Inspection Frequency : 1/1000 gram
Number of Controls : 2
Sample Quantity : 3 grams
The number of inspections for 2200 grams of material is calculated as: 2200/1000=2.2. The number is rounded upwards (3), and the result is calculated by multiplying this number with the specified number of controls (2) =6. The result (6) is entered on the number of inspections field of the inspection criteria assignments window. The sample quantity of the same section is 3.
According to the operation above, the inspector performs 6 controls for 2200 grams, checking 3 grams of material at each inspection.
So, the total quantity to be inspected is 18 grams. Otherwise, "Insufficient Sample Quantity" warning is displayed. Furthermore, 6 lines of inspection should be entered in total. Otherwise, "Insufficient Number of Inspection" warning is displayed.
Example 2:
Assuming that the following values are entered on the inspection criteria assignments window of the material;
Inspection Frequency: 1/1000 meters
Number of Controls: 3
Sample Quantity: 2 meters
Transaction Quantity: 4500 meters
4500/1000 = 4.5; the number is rounded upwards, and the result is 5.
5 x 3 = 15; the material should be inspected 15 times.
15 x 2 = 30; 30 meters of material is required for the inspection.
Furthermore, 15 lines of inspection should be entered, and 30 meters of fabric should be inspected.
