Understanding the Quality Data Collection Process

Operator interaction is part of the data-collection methodology. Quality provides you with a comprehensive data-collection environment that combines operator data entry with online analysis and immediate feedback. You record sample information against a control plan and then view analysis results to make improvements or corrections to the process.

You can enter, maintain, and edit quality data against variable, defect, or defective characteristics within a control plan. The system creates a data-entry session for each new sampling, based on the inspection frequency, as a container for the related measurement, cause, and action information that you entered.
