I'm trying to the capture results of AQL sampling across various defect categories (critical, major, minor) upon receipt of material. I can get the sample procedure to calculate the proper sample size according to the sample scheme, but I am unable to get the characteristic to vary the accept/reject value according to the defect level (critical, major, minor).
Results recording would require to enter both the 1)defect total and the 2) category/code of each defect. Valuation would be against the accept/reject values for the category.
Ultimately, I'd like to capture results as follows and then pareto out the defect data (all defect categories and codes on the same pareto without having to pareto out critical,major, minor + codes separately ).
e.g.
n=100 syringes
critical ( a=0,r=1) defects found = 0
major (a=2,r=3) defects found = 2 (1 cracked syringe, 1 particle)
minor (a=5,r=6) defects found = 3 (1 scuffed syringe, 2 scratched syringes)
Do I need to setup a separate characteristic/MIC for each defect category (critical, major, minor)?
Do I need quality notifications turned on to capture results by category/code (I'd prefer not to use notifications at this time)?
Do I need to enter separate c1/d1, c2/d2, c3/d3 values in QDP to reflect critical, major, minor accept reject values or are these vales only used for dependent sampling within the same category (critical for example)?
What settings do I need in the material, mic, sample procedure, sample scheme to get this to work?
many thanks in advance!
