Introduction to Quality Management

Quality Management enables conformance assessments by linking product information, specifications, and recipes to actual quality and process summary information. It provides the ability to capture real-time data, manage product specific objectives, quantify results, monitor compliance, and display work instructions on the plant floor.

The calculation engine makes it possible to perform both simple and complex calculations. The module is designed to work with SPC/SQC functionality.

Quality Management supports both automatic data collection from control systems, external interfaces, and manual entry of data. Its plant-floor interface means you get accurate product costing from detailed process data, not best-guess work.

Quality Management also provides real-time quality feedback to your plant operations staff. Managers only have to get involved when exceptions occur.

When you need data collected and presented in a way that makes sense and in a format that's easy to follow, you can view any of Quality Management's standard reports in Microsoft Excel or through the Plant Applications Web Client. Quality Management even streamlines customer quality reporting and complaint research.
