Enter Analysis Results for Inventory Part

Explanation

Use this activity to enter analysis results for an inventory part.

This activity allows you to record the measure quality results against the quality test plan (Control Plan) for an inventory part where required.

You can change the status of a data point to Complete. Only data points in Complete status are considered when creating control charts or calculating capability indices. Once the data point has this status, the results cannot be edited. You can also create a new control chart if SPC is activated in the control plan.

When all data points for an analysis have been reported, you can change the status to Confirmed. Once an analysis has been confirmed, the results cannot be edited.

This activity contains a Security Checkpoint which can be activated by an administrator. With an activated security checkpoint on a function you will have to authenticate yourself again in order to fulfill the function. Additionally, whenever a security checkpoint is successfully passed a security checkpoint log is written, creating an audit trail of what is done.
