Test Result Processing

You collect test results after you measure the quality of an item characteristic. For example, a caffeine test for a soft drink includes taking a sample of the item and measuring for caffeine levels.

After you collect and enter test results at various points in the business cycle, you process the results. The system compares the results to the minimum and maximum values and the acceptable quantity or percentage that you previously defined for the test. Based on how many samples pass or fail, the system evaluates the lot to determine whether it passes or fails quality inspection. The system sets the lot status to the value that you defined in the processing option for failed lot status.
