CAMERA STAGE 5 -
REPORTING :
At
different levels within an organisation, production quality
information needs to be presented at different resolutions and
in different formats for uniform acceptance throughout the
organisation. Q-DAS products can produce compressed management,
intermediate overview or highly detailed individual reports of
the same process data for process control and user
understanding.
M-QIS - Management Quality
Information System
Like the O-QIS toolbox for
presenting process data to operators (see Stage 2 - Assessment),
the M-QIS toolbox comprises a range of solutions for presenting
process information in a variety of ways that are easily
understood by managers at all levels.
Q-DAS Reporting
System
The effectiveness and efficiency
of corrective measures can only be visible through continuous
process observation and reporting. The Q-DAS Reporting System
supports users by automatically executing the mundane tasks of
evaluating and reporting process data.
The Reporting System can be
programmed to perform data evaluation at pre-determined time
intervals (e.g. every Friday at 5pm), and by automatically
sending reports or notices to defined targets (printers, email
address, file or SMS), key personnel can be notified as and when
information is available. In order to avoid information
overload, reports can be assigned according to process status,
for example a summary report can be sent if the process is
capable, whereas detailed individual characteristics reports can
be issued in the case of a process alarm or violation.
QDAS Web Reporter
Like Reporting System, the QDAS
Web Reporter provides
the capability to see the current process status at any time.
However, instead of relying on emails or printed reports,
process information can be viewed from any location via a
standard web browser. Standard browser interfaces, or completely
user designed layouts can be integrated to make data access easy
and effective at any time. The use of the QDAS Web Reporter also
removes the need to invest in training and documentation, as web
pages can be designed to present data in easy to understand,
pre-defined formats.
QDAS Form
Designer
Statistical reports have
historically meant the same thing - lots of numbers supported by
histograms, probability plots and x-bar and R charts. For many,
this information is practically useless, as it merely serves to
fulfil a need to print a report.
Using the QDAS
Form Designer, the
user can create individual report layouts according to the need
for information and clarity of understanding. Graphics,
calculated statistics, drawings, photographs and many other
types of process information can be included in these report
templates. Summary graphics are also available with qsSTAT to
provide management with process overviews as well as individual
elements.
In this way, the right information
is transmitted to the right people, in a way that is clear and
concise, enabling intelligent decisions to be made regarding
process improvement.
Initial Sample
Report
The Initial Sample Report module
integrates the standard VDA and QS9000 ISIR reporting templates
into an existing qsSTAT licence.
Data collected through standard procella
My.SPC or qsSTAT can
be quickly transferred to industry standard reports for Part
Submission Warrant (PSW) requirements.
