Glossary for Qualityaccept quantity The part of the sample quantity accepted after
testing. calibration The refurbishing of an instrument to make it fit for use. chart type The chart type determines what the chart looks like. For
example, it defines the type of graph, the thickness of lines, the size of
bars, and the colors. The following default chart types are present in LN:
code letter Letters used to determine the various code letters that are
applicable for a sampling rule. code letter table The table used to determine the various code letter applicable for a sampling rule. The table groups together the various code letters. corrective action plan (CAP) The plan that details the actions performed to prevent
recurrence of non-conformance or failure. The plan is based on the non-conformance material report (NCMR). Detection Controls Indicates the controls used to identify a cause, failure mode,
or an effect. Effect An effect is the consequence of the failure on the
system. expression Indicates the way in which the algorithm value is calculated.
You can define an expression that contains variables with different
characteristic units. Example You can calculate the content of a barrel by entering the following expression: Area (in cm2) * Height (in meters) However, make sure that you convert the expression to the algorithm unit that you enter in the Algorithm Unit field. For example, if you enter cm3 in the Algorithm Unit field, you must enter the following expression in the Expression field: Area (in cm2) * Height (in meters) * 100 Failure Mode The mode in which an item or operation fails to meet or deliver
the intended functions and associated requirements. frequency The interval between two samples, expressed in the frequency
unit. Explanation: A new sample of 10 pieces is drawn for every 100 pieces. In this case there will be 11 samples of 10 pieces. Example
frequency unit The unit in which the sample size is expressed. inspection level The level at which inspections are conducted. inspection order An order used to structure the inspection of products that are
purchased, produced, or sold. inspection severity The severity of the inspection that the item requires. You can
manually and/or automatically increase or decrease the inspection severity
level relating to an item characteristic based on actual inspection results.
You can set the severity level to one of the following:
inspection standard The standards (Example ISO, DIN, MIL and so on) used to test
one or more characteristics of a product, to determine if conformity is
achieved for each characteristic. iteration The number of times a process is repeated to ensure that
inspection standards are met. non-conformance report (NCR) The report that identifies non-conformance of material during
QM/warehousing inspection or during the movement of the materials and/or when
the material is in stock. Occurrence Occurrence is the likelihood of the fault and the associated
cause exists in the item being analyzed. option set A group of possible values of a characteristic. For each value
(option) you can indicate whether it is acceptable or not. The options blue and red form an option set Example
origin An integrated module or package to which an (inspection) order
is related. quality combination The conditions that determine the generation of inspection
orders, and how the inspections are carried out. A quality combination links the following information:
Recommended Actions The tasks or activities recommended to reduce or eliminate the
risk associated with potential causes of failure. reject quantity The part of the sample quantity rejected after
testing. Risk Priority Number A numerical ranking of the risk of each potential failure and
the cause. The number comprises of severity of the effect, the likelihood of
occurrence of the failure and the likelihood of detection of the
failure. Risk Priority Number(RPN)= Severity Ranking * Occurence Ranking * Detection Ranking sampling iterations The number of iterations required to complete the sampling
process. sampling plan A plan used to define:
sampling rule The rules that are based on sampling plans. The rules define
how and when samples are taken and the sample and accept/reject
criteria. sequence The sequence number of the inspection order on the basis of
which characteristics are tested on different samples. serial number A unique number generated by LN to distinguish between
the different measurements you can take in one sample quantity. The number of
measurements is based on the test quantity. Example
Explanation: You need to do 5 tests on 20 pieces to get a sample quantity of 100 pieces (100/20=5). Consequently, 5 test lines will be generated, each with a unique serial number. Severity The severity associated with the most serious effect for a
failure mode. standard test procedure The code to which data is linked that is necessary to check the
quality requirements of an item. Since one standard test procedure can be used
for a group of products that require the same quality standards and tests, a
standard test procedure can considerably reduce time. Structure A structure is a combination of either a system or a
sub-system, and a fault code. This structure can be linked to various
combinations of systems/subsystems and faults. test group The definition of how often you take samples to test an order
quantity, and what the sample size is. test quantity The part of the sample quantity that is tested. Example: A 5 kg
sample will be tested by testing 1 kg at a time. variable A code that holds the value of a aspect or characteristic. This
value will be used in the expression of an algorithm to calculate the value of
another aspect or characteristic.
