Purchase MRP Workorder Quality
Quality control for purchased manufacturing components with inspection points and supplier management
The Purchase MRP Workorder Quality module integrates quality control into the manufacturing component procurement process, ensuring only qualified components are used in work orders.
The system automatically creates quality checks when receiving components, tracks supplier quality performance, and blocks use of failed components in production.
Key Features
Key points
• Automatic Quality Checks: Auto-create quality checks when receiving components from purchase orders
• Inspection Points: Set up inspection points for each component type and supplier
• Supplier Quality Rating: Rate supplier quality based on pass/fail ratio
• Work Order Integration: Block use of failed components in work orders
• Quality Alerts: Alert when supplier quality drops below threshold
• Measurement Recording: Record measurement results (dimensions, weight, strength)
• Certificate Management: Manage quality certificates from suppliers
• Non-Conformance Tracking: Track and handle non-conforming components
Quality Control Workflow
Steps
1. Configure Quality Points: Go to Quality → Configuration → Quality Points. Create quality point for "Receipts" operation with specific product/vendor.
2. Set up checks: Select check type (Pass/Fail, Measure, Take Picture). Enter acceptance criteria (tolerance, min/max values).
3. Purchase: Create purchase order for components. Confirm PO and receive goods normally.
4. Automatic quality check: When validating receipt, system auto-creates quality check. QC staff receives notification.
5. Perform inspection: QC opens quality check, performs measurement/inspection. Enter results and mark Pass/Fail.
6. Handle results: If Pass, component enters stock ready for use. If Fail, create quality alert and block use in work orders.
Quality Check Types
Check Types
| Type | Description | When to Use |
|---|---|---|
| Pass/Fail | Simple pass/fail check | Visual inspection, color, packaging |
| Measure | Measure numeric value (mm, kg, °C) | Dimensions, weight, temperature, hardness |
| Take Picture | Take photo as evidence | Record defects, compare with sample |
| Instructions | Display inspection instructions | Complex procedures, checklists |
| Worksheet | Custom data entry form | Multiple parameters, multi-step checks |
Supplier Evaluation
Key points
• Quality Score: Calculate % pass rate based on quality check history
• Trend Analysis: Track quality trends over time
• Automatic Alerts: Alert when quality score < 90% in 30 days
• Vendor Comparison: Compare quality between suppliers
• Corrective Actions: Record corrective actions from suppliers
• Re-inspection: Request re-inspection after supplier improvement
Real-World Scenarios
Quality Control Applications
| Scenario | Configuration | Result |
|---|---|---|
| Check component dimensions | Quality Point: Measure, tolerance ±0.1mm. Auto for all receipts of product X. | QC measures dimensions, enters value. System auto Pass/Fail based on tolerance. |
| Random sample inspection | Quality Point: frequency = 1 in 10 receipts. Pass/Fail check. | System auto-creates check for 10% of receipts, saves QC time. |
| Vendor with quality issues | Vendor A has quality score 75%. Create quality alert, require 100% inspection. | All receipts from Vendor A are inspected until quality improves. |
| Block defective components | Component failed quality check. System marks "Quality Hold". | Work order cannot use this component, prevents defective products. |
| Certificate tracking | Require vendor to upload certificate for each batch. Quality Point: check certificate. | QC confirms valid certificate before passing receipt. |
