New Features in Oracle Quality Release 11

The following features are new for Release 11:

Integration with Purchasing Transaction

In this release of Oracle Manufacturing, quality data can be collected as you transfer receipts internally before you deliver them to the final destination as specified on the source document. You also have the option to use Oracle Quality, instead of Oracle Purchasing, to collect quality data as you inspect items in receiving and inspection, then accept or reject quantities as required.

Managing Purchasing Quality

Integration with Service Transaction Integration

In this release of Oracle Manufacturing, quality data can be collected as you enter service requests.

Service Data Collection

Statit Graphics Integration

You have the option to use Statware's Statit Statistical Quality and Process Control software to create charts and descriptive statistic views. By integrating Oracle Quality and Statware, you can use Oracle Quality collection plans to collect, then select, data for your charts and views and then use Statware to generate the charts and views. You can export the data selected to Statware where it can be further analyzed.

Collection Import Update

In this release of Oracle Quality, you can import updated quality data records using Collection Import. Updating a record essentially replaces the existing record.

Specification Subtypes

In addition to the specification types, in this release you can now define specification subtypes. Specification subtypes make the specification selection process more specific. For example, you can now define a supplier specification that is specific not only to a particular supplier but also to the location of the supplier's facility.

In List for Collection Triggers

You can now define custom "in" and "not in" list operators for the collection triggers that you define in the Collection Transactions window. The "in" record selection condition allows you to create a user-defined list of values. The "not in" record selection condition also allows you to create a user-defined list of values. However in this instance, only quality results values that do not match the values in this list are selected.

Template Collection Plans

This release of Oracle Quality offers templates from which you can create collection plans for transactional data collection. You can create a collection plan from a template by copying the components from the template to your collection plan. Using template collection plans ensures that your collection plan will include all of the required collection elements necessary for transactional data collection. This release offers four pre-seeded template collection plans: PO Inspection, PO Receiving, Service Request and WIP Move.
