<strong>ACTA</strong> <strong>TECHNICA</strong> <strong>CORVINIENSIS</strong> – BULLETIN <strong>of</strong> ENGINEERINGProduction logistics is the term used fordescribing logistic processes within an industry.Also, the purpose <strong>of</strong> production logistics is toensure that each equipment and technologies isbeing fed with the right product in the rightquantity and quality at the right point in time.What materials, products, or information comeinto the activity? What materials, products, orinformation flow out <strong>of</strong> the activity? Qualityengineers use the D-M-A-I-C model (define,measure, analyze, improve, and control) todocument processes before beginning processimprovement. If processes are documented,another series <strong>of</strong> logical questions apply: Are theprocesses being followed? Are they withinacceptable control and performanceparameters? Are they outdated? Can they beimproved? Those are the questions whichdetermine the correlations between the logisticsprocess and the quality assurance.a different influence upon the quality and thesafety in the exploitation. Our approaches theissue <strong>of</strong> quality assurance <strong>of</strong> the rolling millsrolls, from the viewpoint <strong>of</strong> the quality <strong>of</strong>materials, which feature can cause duration andsafety in exploitation. The quality assuranceresearch fields can be defined through thegeneral research area, through the differentexperiments effectuated in the laboratories, and,also, through the modern calculation programs,optimization technologies and the bettercapitalization <strong>of</strong> the manufacturing data (seeFigure 2).QUALITY ASSURANCE IN THE ROLL INDUSTRYThe manufacture <strong>of</strong> rolls (see Figure 1) is incontinuously perfecting, the requirements forsuperior quality rolls are not yet completelysatisfied, in many cases, the absence <strong>of</strong> qualityrolls preventing the realization <strong>of</strong> qualitylaminates or the realization <strong>of</strong> productivities <strong>of</strong>which rolling mills are capable. Basic properties<strong>of</strong> rolls and properties <strong>of</strong> the material are twototally different sides <strong>of</strong> a problem and very<strong>of</strong>ten this difference is ignored. However, whenwe start to discuss about the rolls mechanicalproperties, we have to analyze the rolls materialor the roll-properties.Figure 2. Quality assurance research fieldsFigure 3. Quality assurance in rolling industryIn the rolling industry, the quality <strong>of</strong> the rolls isin directly accordance with the quality <strong>of</strong>technologies (defined by the casting equipments,materials, applied procedures, etc), and also, bythe quality <strong>of</strong> the manufacturing process(charging, melting, inoculation, ladle treatment,casting, cleaning, etc), which are presented inFigure 3.Figure 1.
