| One area that you can’t compromise is Quality. Quality is a must in order to meet customer expectations, and expert Quality Management allows you to increase the consistency of product quality while dealing with the day-to-day realities on the plant floor. To achieve quality, you need to collect inspection and test results, know when to test, how to perform tests, and ensure that they conform to specifications. However, there is often a balance between going too fast in production and risking quality performance - and going too slowly and risking not meeting customer delivery demands. Production Management Software helps you achieve that balance and meet demand WITH quality output – and without a large safety margin or increasing costs due to scrap. At GE Fanuc, we’ve devised systems to help you ensure consistent quality in your products. As with Efficiency Management, with the right information in the right context, you can make the right decisions to better manage quality. You can start by integrating process, inspection and test data from both manual and automatically generated sources. This information enters a single, integrated system that compares all inputs against targets to ensure quality operations. By attaching comments, specifications, recipes and procedure documents to this data, you can ensure that you’ve created a single, definitive source of production information – in other words, a single version of the truth. The trends and statistics derived from this data collection can help you make decisions quickly, without losing too much time or drowning in too much information. You can compare on-going, real-time system inputs to monitor their conformance with your targets. If out-of-spec conditions do occur, pre-set alarms can notify users to issues early – before they become problems. You can easily configure alarms to alert people across the plant with on-screen pop-up’s and automatic e-mails when limits or SPC rules are violated. With GE Fanuc Production Management Software, you can also leverage standard, automated reporting and analysis tools to easily explore process relationships, find root causes of problems and tighten control of your quality and cost or production. | Additional Information |
