Tip
There is no
integration between
quality procedures
and capacity
requirements plan
(CRP).
Use specifications to record information about sample size. For instance,
you can set up an item specification with three test steps:
• One for sample size
• One for quantity accepted
• One for quantity rejected
Item specifications can be maintained in the Product Change Control
module. The effective date is used to phase in changes managed with
product change orders.
Setting Up Procedures
A quality procedure consists of one or more operations—generally,
inspection or testing operations—linked to a work center. Define quality
procedures in Procedure Maintenance (19.2.1). Quality procedures are
used by quality orders in the same way routings are used by work orders.
Operation lead time indicates the time, stated in decimal hours, this test
operation normally takes. Operation time is independent of the number of
units being tested. Make sure you enter it consistently as either time per
unit or time per test batch.
You can link each operation of a procedure to one or more items in the
Procedure Supplies pop-up window. These items are consumed during
testing or inspection, and are issued from inventory. They are not issued
to WIP, but are treated as floor stock and expensed to cost of production
when quality orders are processed.
