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.
A control plan line for a manufacturing control plan specifies how to inspect
a specified part during the execution of a shop order.
You can inspect not only the main product of the shop order but also its by-products and disassembly components.
A control plan line for a purchasing control plan specifies how a purchased
part is going to be inspected when purchased from the supplier entered in the
control plan header.
A control plan line for an inventory control plan specifies how a part is
going to be inspected when performing analysis in inventory.
For each control plan line, the sample size will be calculated when an
analysis is created. To calculate the sample size, an inspection code must be
selected. 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.
For acceptance sampling, a system-generated inspection code ‘ACCEPTANCE SAMPLING’
is used, which has a sample percentage of 100%. The actual sample size will
be calculated by the system when the analysis is created. A control plan line using
the inspection code for acceptance sampling will be automatically connected
to an acceptance sampling trigger.
To create a new control plan line (data point), click the new command on
the Control Plan Lines tab;
- In the Data Type field select Attributes, Variable
or Categorical.
- If the data type is set to Categorical, enter a
Category ID or use the List of Values (LoV) picker to
choose from the available category IDs in the Category
field. Select a Category Entry type to define how to enter inspection
results for the categorical data point.
- If the data type is set to Variable, 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, together with either the
combination Inner Min/Inner Max and/or Outer
Min/Outer Max.
- In control plan manufacturing it is mandatory to enter a part in the
Produced Part to Inspect field for each control plan
line. Use the List of Values to choose from the available parts. Any
produced part (by-products or disassembly components) that exists in at
least one of the existing product structure alternates for the main
product part, defined in the header section of the control plan, may be
selected.
- If the Serial Registration option is enabled,
registration of serial numbers will be enforced when entering inspection
results for the data point. This option is only available in control
plan manufacturing if the Produced Part to Inspect is
serial tracked and Data Type is Variable or
Categorical. The Serial Registration option is not
available in control plan purchasing and control plan inventory.
- To make it mandatory to attach a media item to the inspection
result, enable Media Required.
- To activate acceptance sampling for a control plan line, select the system-defined
Inspection Code ‘ACCEPTANCE SAMPLING’. When activating acceptance
sampling for a control plan line, the AQL and Inspection
Level values will automatically be set to the default values defined
in the Acceptance Sampling Parameters section in the
control plan header, but they can be edited. If acceptance sampling is activated
for a control plan line with data type Variable, it is also
mandatory to set Specification Limits and Standard
Deviation values.
Prerequisites
- The control plan header must be in status the Created.
- 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 will be created. The
inspection code selected in the control plan line, will control the sample size
for each data point when the analyses are created.
