A perfectly planned product requires procurement and production processes in order to achieve the desired quality. Irrespective of whether they supply raw materials, components or complex assemblies, suppliers must be monitored to ensure they adhere to supplier agreements.
Process optimization in the production process means production preparation and production support as an integral part of product manufacturing. KPIs are used to evaluate process. This includes figures such as ppm rates, Cpk values and defect pareto analyses. The management of quality data ensures the complete documentation of a product’s quality history.
