Modules

Quality parameters are crucial for the selection of suitable equipment for the production or storage space so that the premises meet the conditions required by the object:

Examples of quality criteria are given in other sections.

Qualitative properties of instruments, tools and machines

Measurement accuracy
Production accuracy
Working speed – e.g. measuring speed productivity per minute, etc.

Quality criteria for the premises

Quality criteria for the premises are both the properties of the premises themselves as well as the requirements of the products and specific objects

Requirement that the product be kept cool – e.g. 0 – 5°C (typically food, but also e.g. medical test samples)
Requirement for indoor placement (building materials that must not be wet)
Maximum humidity requirement (electronics)

Using parameters

Parameters system allows you to record

For all areas (warehouses, rooms, cabinets, etc.) it allows to define what conditions are secured in them.
For products (products, samples, parts, components) the conditions that must be ensured during their storage are defined
For specific subjects (e.g. a specific sample) it is also possible to define the conditions. Here the description makes sense when it comes to a unique object for which the description is not a form of product, or would not make sense.

Practical use

In addition to the documentation, the parameters are used to locate a suitable repository for the new product and to check that the productions are kept in accordance with the rules.

Examples of use:

Shipment planning makes it possible to check the summary terms of all products shipped together. The expedition can, for example, find out the need to provide air-conditioned transport, because there is a product in the shipment that requires specific conditions.
Inclusion of new products in the warehouse allows checking that products will not be stored in violation of their conditions
I don't know.

Specific use of attributes

Attributes also allow recording of product quality class. For example, for a specific product, it is possible to store a flag that it is designed for operation at high temperatures. Within the product, it is then possible to check whether all its components meet this criterion.

Validity tracking

For each criterion for both product and space it is possible to record the date until which the value is valid. By the date of validity, the measurement or check should take place whether the qualitative conditions are still met. For all devices, devices and premises, it is possible to view what conditions are set for them together with the date of the required inspection.

Custom criteria option

The system defines basic groups of criteria, but at the same time allows you to define your own criteria. Using the user code list, the administrator can add the names of other monitored criteria.

You ask

How to store information that a particular device has been measured and meets the quality criteria.

If the inspection is outsourced or by an internal testing service, the information is supported by a measurement report – most often it is a file (PDF) that should be stored among the files of the device (asset) to which it relates.

There is not necessarily a document – there can be an internal protocol and a record of the inspection. In particular, a methodological task is created for the asset, which contains a checklist of the inspections carried out. The control officer is given a task to confirm the inspections carried out. Details of the documentation of the inspection carried out are described by a model methodological task (see ISO 9001, field of metrology).
