Basic data for QM

[rajesh_sutar2]

Hi Experts,

I am new in QM.Can anybody please tell me,

Why it is need to maintain following.

Maintain catalog,code group,selected sets,Master Inspection Characteristics,Sampling Procedure,sampling scheme.

Please guide with example for each above.Will appreciate.

I have read SAP Library but not that much clear.Hope from you.

Hello,

Please find the examples for the same

1) Selected sets - These are catalogs made for a particular plant. for eg - 03 catalogs which is used for usage decision, 01 - characteristic attributes eg colour, appearance.

Code Group - A key for summarizing codes and structuring a catalog according to various criteria.The assignment of codes to code groups. eg - Colour. Code can be 001 - Red, green, blue etc

2) Master inspection characteristic - What needs to be checked. length, diameter, viscosity ,temperature. etc

3) Sampling Procedure - how much you want to inspect. If 100 item comes whether you want 100% or any sampling method to be used etc.

4) Sampling scheme - particular sampling versions used by the company fer eg

if you have 100 sample you will inspect 5

if it is 500 you will inspection 10

Hello,

The mentioned things are master data in QM module. You need to have this for running this module

1) Catalogs-

Inspection catalogs are created in QM module

Components of catalogs are - Codes, Code groups, Selected sets & Codes

Unstructured Description of inspection results, observations, or decisions made during inspection are coded to evaluate similar information. Easy to evaluate such non numeric data in codes.Evaluate descriptions such as cracked, dented, damaged, defectives in terms of codes.These coded descriptions are managed in catalogs.Assign these codes to master inspection characteristic & characteristics in the inspection plan.eg. Using code groups & selected set codes.

Codes are used to record inspection results/defects/defect location.

Codes are used to make usage decision and carry out evaluation.

Codes for Task,Events,Causes, etc are used in notifications.

2) Master inspection characteristic

Inspection characteristic describes WHAT needs to be inspected.

MIC can be either Qualitative or Quantitative and intended for repetitive use.

Catalogs & inspection Methods are assigned to MICs

Defect Catalogs are assigned in case Defect Recording is required.

Control Indicators defines the parameters for Result recording of the MIC & Result analysis.

3) Sampling Procedure

A sampling procedure is a procedure by which the sample size is determined for an inspection.Sampling procedures are defined at characteristic level .Sampling procedures are maintained at client level.

4) Sampling Scheme

A sampling scheme is an arrangement of sampling plans (in sampling tables) for accepting the characteristics of an inspection. A sampling plan defines the sample scope and the acceptance criteria.

Acceptance Number and Rejection Number serve as criteria.

You assign a sampling scheme to a sampling procedure

5) Inspection method

The Inspection Method describes how an inspection is carried out for an Inspection characteristic. Changes are documented using version management.Where -used lists and replacement functions supports the inspection planner in the maintenance of master data.Inspection method identifier/no.which is assigned to master inspection characteristic or inspection characteristic can be seen under inspection characteristic general data.

Please revert back if you need any further information
