1. Quality control
The QUALITY and TRACEABILITY MANAGER is one of the components of the MapexBusinessPlatform
suite that makes it possible to control, manage
and analyze quality data swiftly and effectively.
This module of the suite allows
you to integrate all quality information with production
information (workers, WO, operations, machines, etc.).
In this way, it is possible to conduct complete analyses
relating quality problems and defects with machines,
products and workers. |
The merging
of Quality and Production information makes it possible
to automatically calculate the O.E.E. (Overall Equipment
Effectiveness).
The entire environment has a user-friendly
and intuitive interface that makes it possible to visualize
both at the plant and in the office in real time, the
tracking of all controls to allow for rapid response.
In addition, it includes a powerful tool for the creation
of reports that can be customized by the user (Module
MapexDynamics with CrystalReports). |
2. Functions and Features
- Easy management of quality levels and worker self-monitoring.
- Traceability by batch of raw materials and finished products,
with direct and inverse traceability.
- Traceability by equipment (moulds, dies, tools, etc.)
used for manufacturing.
- Management of notices to workers on controls not carried
out or not within margins of acceptability.
- SPC Control of values. Automatic calculation of Cp and
Cpk, to facilitate and expedite follow-up and implementation
of 6sigma.
- Management of shortfalls and defects (type and number).
- Pre-defined analysis screens (XR graphics, statistics,
histograms, Pareto charts) to facilitate the study and analysis
of data in the most customary fashion.
- Management of calibration.
- Graphs (P,N,U) for implementation of TQM (Total Quality
Management).
- GDocument management at the plant (manuals, procedures,
instructions, and plans), with the MapexGedoc
module.
- Possibility of automatic quality data capture from machines
(process values, artificial vision, etc.) or from measuring
devices with communications.

3. Components of the Quality module
MapexQualitex
is made up of 4 components (Traceability Control, Control
of Defects, SPC Statistical Process Control, and Self-monitoring
Plan)
These components make it possible to effectively manage
most tasks of the quality department at your company.
Each one of the components consists of: |
> Plant interface that
allows for entry and querying of data by workers (through
touch screens or standard workstations).
> Office interface from which reports and analyses
can be generated based on data captured at the plant,
with one of the most powerful tools on the market. |
3.1 Traceability Control
- With the traceability component an historical summary
listing lots of raw materials and equipment used can be
generated for each one of the outgoing batches produced.
- Incoming batches can be entered manually by workers or
automatically via a bar-code reader RFID.
- With the traceability component and a compatible printer,
labels can be generated (EAN128, code39,...) with the information
of the outgoing lots.
- With master control of equipment and batches it is possible
to check the hours of use and consumption for each one of
the batches and equipment in the plant.
- As of version 6.0 it is also possible to plan batches
and equipment for each one of the WO’s.
3.2 Control of Defects
- The management component for defects makes it possible
to control and analyze shortfalls: P Graph (Percentage of
shortfalls), PN Graph (Number of defective units), C Graph
(Number of defects in one given sample).
- The type of the shortfall can be captured automatically
by the machine or reported manually by workers from plant
terminals.
- The integration of the module with MapexProdex makes
it possible to carry out studies of shortfalls by finished
product, production batches, WO, worker, machinery, etc.
3.3 Statistics of Process Control:
SPC
- The SPC component makes it possible to carry out different
kinds of statistical calculations in real time based on
data input by the worker or captured directly by machines.
- XR graphs clearly show the breakdown of the average and
deviation for data entered in real time, allowing for appropriate
(and timely) correction to remain within safe limits so
as to prevent shortfalls.
- This component automatically calculates parameters of
typical deviation, averages, Cp and Cpk of samples entered,
making it possible to visualize and compare results from
the plant and the office.
- Graphs and lists facilitate implementation of 6sigma.
3.4 Management of the Quality Autocontrol Plan
- The Autocontrol Plan component is the tool used to allow
for the input of quality controls in an orderly and clear
fashion.
- It provides a clear indication of the calibre and nominal
ranges that are to be used in the application of the control.
- Through a simple colour code, the correct controls, incorrect
controls (outside the configured margins) and those not
executed are indicated.
- Data are entered manually by workers or with an automatic
connection to the machine. It also allows for the connection
to measuring devices with a communications output.
- The quality control plan is configured for each manufacturing
phase and the modification of values and parameters is simple.
- Integration with MapexProdex makes it possible to carry
out studies of these quality records for WO's, production
batches, workers, machines, etc.
Optional touchpanel computers help workers
to
enter and access the real-time information.
