Understanding PeopleSoft Quality Methods

Quality provides industry-accepted methods for applying statistical process control (SPC) practices to manufacturing operations. These methods help you:

• Monitor several processes simultaneously, in real-time, to assess stability and identify out-of-control conditions.

• Generate alarms and dispatch them online by using electronic mail or Workflow.

• Characterize, stabilize, and improve the process by using advanced statistics and graphing techniques.

Note:

The product is delivered with many industry-standard definitions for control charts, control tests, and control procedures. You can elect to use these defaults or create specific methods. If you use the system's standard definitions, you don't have to use this topic to get started.

All the configured methods are available for use by Quality during both online and offline data analysis (Quality application client).
