You define inspection points in this step. This involves defining the following:

  • Identification of inspection points
  • Default values for valuating the inspection points
  • Function modules for generating the inspection points

To identify the inspection points, the inspection point data record can contain a date and time field. For each of these fields, there are two text and number fields of variable length that you can freely define. You use these fields when recording inspection results, to assign the inspection points to the units that have been inspected or to the partial quantities. You do this by selecting one of the flow variants stored at operation level.

You can use this identification technique in several application areas. The standard system, therefore, provides the following inspection point types

Inspection points during the production process

The identifiers for the inspection points are defined in the task list header and are valid for all operations. If you do not define an inspection point identifier in the task list header, the system uses a general identifier, that is stored in the settings at plant level.

Inspection points form the basis for defining partial lots with their own usage decisions. When used with control charts, inspection points are suitable for statistical process control.

If you define the use of inspection points in the task list header, you must specify whether the inspection points are to be based on time, quantity, or to be freely defined at the operation level. For inspection points based on time or quantity, you must also specify an inspection interval in the operation. During the production process, you create a data record that contains inspection results for each inspection point.

You must assign a produced quantity to each inspection point. You can combine the partial quantities for inspection points into partial lots and the partial lots into batches.

If you use freely defined inspection points with inspection plans outside the production area, the time-based or quantity-based inspection interval and the management of batches or partial lots is not supported.

In Customizing, you can define function modules to generate time-based or quantity-based inspection points. In addition, for the fields that are to be identified, you can define function modules that propose and test entries and display entries for selection.

Inspection points to identify physical samples

The identifier for this inspection point type contains an additional field for entering the physical-sample number.
This inspection point type does not contain functions for partial lot assignment or for time or quantity-based inspection intervals.

Inspection points to identify maintenance objects

The identifier for this inspection point type contains an additional field for entering the equipment or functional location number.
This inspection point type does not contain functions for partial lot assignment or for time or quantity-based inspection intervals.

Standard settings

  • The table has the delivery class G. The following name range is reserved for the user:
    User field combination 9*, A*, ... , Z*
  • The system contains function modules for generating
    • Freely defined inspection points
      Executable example
    • Default values for the inspection point identification
      Non-executable example

      Read the online documentation for these function modules.

Recommendation

Due to the summarization of data at the characteristic level, the maximum number of inspection points for each operation is limited in the standard system.

For performance reasons, retain the settings in the standard system.

Inspection point definitions are keys for data records in table QAPP. They should therefore not be deleted in productive operation. Do not change an inspection point definition that has already been used. Instead, create new entries in the table where required, and flag the old ones as 'no longer to be used'.

Activities

  1. Determine:
    1. Whether your company carries out multiple inspections for an operation during production or for other operations and how the intervals for these inspections are defined.
    2. Whether you need special identifiers to record inspection results for physical samples. If the equipment number is sufficient, you should only require the standard entries.
    3. Whether you need special identifiers to record inspection results for maintenance objects. If the sample number meets your requirements, the standard entry should be sufficient.
  2. Define appropriate inspection point identifiers by assigning a suitable definition and sequence to the fields contained in the "Inspection Point Identifiers" table.
  3. Specify default values for the usage decisions relating to the inspection points. To do this, refer to the steps contained in the subsection Inspection Completion. This describes how to define the quantity of usage decisions as well as the follow-up actions linked to the decisions. You assign follow-up actions for inspection points in production at partial lot level, and actions for other inspection points at lot level.
  4. Determine whether the number of inspection points at an update is to be limited at characteristic level, and if necessary set the maximum number accordingly.
  5. Determine whether you want to generate inspection points or default values for inspection point identification with your own function modules and make sure these modules are programmed.
  6. Make sure appropriate sampling procedures are maintained for the inspections carried out on the basis of inspection points. For additional information, refer to the chapter Quality Planning, Basic Data.
  7. Check the settings at plant level. If necessary, define the following default values:
    • Sampling procedure used in conjunction with inspection points in production, physical-sample processing or calibration inspections.
    • General inspection point identifier for inspections in production.
    • Way the partial lots are created
    • Usage decisions for inspection points or partial lots
