Quality Management (SAP QM)

• Inspection plans, routings, dynamic modification rules, inspection characteristics and sampling procedures provide you with comprehensive tools for planning quality inspections
• In order to keep the inspection effort within reasonable limits, you can, for example, use dynamic modification rules to set up a skip-lot procedure for skip inspections
• You limit the quantity to be inspected with sampling procedures and sampling plans
   

WE SOLVE YOUR CHALLENGES IN QUALITY PLANNING

• Inspection lots and their functions provide you with flexible and comprehensive support when recording inspection results
• Inspection lots are created and used, for example, for goods receipt inspections, inspections during production, inspections during delivery or in maintenance
• The operations and inspection specifications are determined from the inspection plans and routings
• Accordingly, the inspection lot documents your quality inspection and its results can be passed on to characteristics of a batch, for example
• The inspection lot is completed with the usage decision, which in turn can trigger follow-up actions such as rebooking, blocking or sending an e-mail
   

WE SOLVE YOUR CHALLENGES IN Quality inspection

• You can use quality notifications, for example, to process notifications of defects or delivery type complaints, complaints from customers or for internal problem notifications
• Defect recording can also be controlled and documented via quality notifications
• Stability studies are quality reports of central importance.
• SAP provides functions for the automatic generation of quality notifications during quality inspection
• The interface of messages is configurable. So you can see the most important information at a glance.
• The action box provides you with functions for follow-up functions, such as entering a goods movement, creating an 8D report, changing the quality level or creating a repair order.
   

WE SOLVE YOUR QUALITY NOTIFICATION CHALLENGES

• QM is integrated into SAP ERP along the entire logistics chain
• Integration with purchasing and inventory management, such as supplier evaluation and goods receipt inspections
• Integration into production. It does not matter whether you manufacture discretely or use process orders. QM is linked to both areas of production planning and control
• Using the link to maintenance, you can carry out calibration inspections on test and measurement equipment or document them in maintenance in an extended form
• Before the products are delivered to the customer, the deliveries can be checked by networking with the sales department (SD)
• EWM - if you use EWM for your warehouse, it can be linked to the QM of SAP ERP
   

WE SOLVE YOUR CHALLENGES IN THE INTEGRATION INTO LOGISTICS

With QM orders, you keep your costs in quality management always in view and can intervene and react accordingly.

The following two costs are recorded by the QM orders:

• Inspection costs incurred during the quality inspection. These can be, for example, inspection times during results recording or material costs
• Error costs: These occur mainly in the case of customer complaints and internal problem reports. A QM order is assigned to the quality notification to collect the costs. Defect costs are primarily services, material withdrawals and repairs

Evaluations for QM orders are available, such as Display cost report or Display QM orders by inspection type.
