Applicable Process Steps
Process Steps | Description |
---|---|
Record Defect | In this step, you can continue processing of a defect in a quality notification (notification type Q3 – Internal Problem Notification) in order to enable a more comprehensive processing of the defect. You can also define immediate, corrective, and preventive actions and assign one or more root causes to the defect in the quality notification.It is currently only possible to continue the defect in a quality notification if no tasks have been assigned to the defect yet. |
Process Defect | There are two options for processing and completing a defect:
In the Process Defect via Quality Notification (N) step, the quality engineer further processes the defect. He can add additional information to the defect or complete missing fields. Furthermore, he assigns a quality task to the defect and enters a responsible task processor. The eight disciplines (8D) model is a problem solving approach. Its purpose is to identify, correct, and eliminate recurring problems. In this step, the quality engineer is guided through the 8 process steps of the 8D model. |
Processor Receives the Notification (N) | This process step shows you how to receive a notification of a task assigned to you in the My Inbox – All Items (F0862) app. |
Execute Quality Task and Document Outcome (N) | In this step, the task processor opens the task and documents the task’s outcome in the processor notes. |
Process Defect via Eight Disciplines of Problem Solving (8D) | The eight disciplines (8D) model is a problem solving approach. Its purpose is to identify, correct, and eliminate recurring problems. In this step, the quality engineer is guided through the 8 process steps of the 8D model. |
Complete Defect Processing | In this step, the quality engineer reviews the outcome of the quality task and completes the defect. |
Record Defect Using CoPilot (Optional) | In this step, you can record the defect using the SAP CoPilot digital assistant. |
Assign Defect to Quality Notification (Optional) | In this step, you can continue processing of a defect in a quality notification (notification type Q3 - Internal Problem Notification) in order to enable a more comprehensive processing of the defect.It is currently only possible to continue the defect in a quality notification if no tasks have been assigned to the defect yet. |
Analyze Defects (Optional) | In this step, the quality engineer can analyze defects that have been captured in the system. |
Overview Page for Quality Engineer (Optional) | The Quality Engineer Overview shows the most important information and tasks related to inspection management that are relevant for you on a single page. The information displays on set of cards. |
Create Inspection Lot | This process describes the handling of inspection lots that were created manually. If required, the quality technician creates additional, manual inspection lots for the available inspection origins in order to perform additional quality inspections. After inspection results have been captured, the quality engineer makes a usage decision to close the manual inspection process. In this step, the quality technician manually creates an inspection lot. An inspection plan is assigned and the sample size is calculated automatically. |
Record Inspection Results | The quality engineer records inspection results. |
Make Usage Decision | The inspection is done and the inspection result is recorded. You must decide whether or not to accept the assembly depending on the inspection result. If you do not want to use the Quality Engineer Overview, you can open the Manage Usage Decisions (F2345) app directly. |
