Quality Management modules

The following Quality Management modules are available. Quality Management modules require a Quality license to be enabled.

Sample Plan Frequency

Allows you to define sample plan frequencies, which are used to determine when the samples are collected.

Sample Plan

Specifies a group of sample plan frequencies that apply to one or more QM specifications.

Characteristic (Definition, for Variables and Attributes)

Allows you to define characteristics, the parameters of a product or process that has to be measured. Two types of characteristics include variables and attributes.

Variables are measurements that can assume any value, limited by an upper and/or lower bound. Attributes always occur in integer amounts.

QM Specification

Specifies a set of values that applies to characteristics with a defined context in which these values are applicable.

Causes

Allows you to define cause groups and causes. This module allows you to define the values of a sample.

Attributes

Allows you to specify sample attributes that can be linked to a QM specification and result attributes that can be linked to a QM characteristic.
