Define Control Plan Lines

Explanation

Each Control Plan Manufacturing, Control Plan Purchasing, or Control Plan Inventory consists of two levels: a header and one or more lines. This activity is used to create new control plan lines.

For each control plan line, the sample size has to be calculated when an analysis is created. To calculate the sample size, an inspection code has to be defined.

The inspection type specifies  whether the sample size is based on a fixed quantity or a sample percentage of the order size .It is not possible to use Percentage as the inspection type if the part is used as a production schedule part. 

Prerequisites

• The Control Plan header and at least one Norm type must have been created. 
• At least one inspection code must have been defined. 

System Effects

As a result of this activity, one or more control plan lines are created. The inspection code selected in the control plan line, will control the sample size for each data point when the analyses are created.

Procedure

Control Plan - Manufacturing

1. Click anywhere in the table to select it. 
2. Create a new record.
3. Note that the Data Point and Status fields are system-generated.
4. Enter the Routing Operation No, or use the List of Values to choose from the available routing operations. This is a required field.
5. Note that the Test Operation No is system-generated. The first line created is Test Operation Number 10, the second is Test Operation Number 20, the third is Test Operation Number 30, and so on.
6. Enter the Test Operation Description. This is a required field.
7. Enter information in the Engineering Drawing Reference field, if appropriate.
8. Enter the Norm Type, or use the List of Values to choose from the available norm types. This is a required field.
9. Enter information in the Machine/Process/Tool, Process Characteristic, Product Characteristic, and Special Characteristic Classification fields, if appropriate.
10. Enter information about the tolerance limits in the Outer Min, Inner Min, Nominal Value, Inner Max, and Outer Max fields. The Nominal Value is required.
11. Enter information in the Evaluation Measurement Technique field, if appropriate.
12. Select Attributes or Variables in the Data Type list.
13. Enter an inspection code or select one from the List of Values. 
14. Enter information in the  Sample Frequency, and Control Method fields. 
15. Enter information in the Reaction Plan and Note Text fields.
16. Save when complete.
