IQP Factors
Through the IQP Factors option you must register possible inspection reports and ascribe a point scale factor for each, to be applied upon delivered amount.
The following Report Factors are provided as suggestions. The point scale ranges from 1 to 4. Such factors are checked when the MV_QFATIQP parameter is set as T(true).
The top score is given inflows approved completely with no restrictions:
Code Factor  |  
     Description  |  
     Category  |  
    
A  |  
     Accepted with no restrictions  |  
     1  |  
    
B  |  
     Accepted with simple deviation  |  
     2  |  
    
C  |  
     Accepted with severe deviation  |  
     2  |  
    
D  |  
     Accepted with supplier selection  |  
     2  |  
    
E  |  
     Completely Rejected  |  
     3  |  
    
U  |  
     Urgently Released  |  
     4  |  
    
If you need to use other reports, you may modify them or add new ones through the Quality Index routines.
If a factor's category is inconsistent with the standard, or in case there is no defined factor, the index calculation is not performed.
Procedures
To add values to IQP Factors:
| 1. | In the IQP Factor Value Registration window, select Add and complete fields according to field help instructions, especially the following fields: | 
| • | Factor Code | 
Enter code to ascribe to inspection report.
| • | Factor | 
Enter this report's score.
| • | Category | 
Select this report's event, if:
| • | 1 - Completely Approved | 
Indicates lot is approved. It is automatically suggested by the system when there are no result related nonconformances;
| • | 2 - Partially Approved | 
Indicates lot is partially approved. It is automatically suggested by the system when the values found are outside dimensional test limits, though within tolerance limits defined for the material;
| • | 3 - Completely Rejected | 
Indicates lot is rejected. It is automatically suggested by the system when the values found are outside dimensional test and tolerance limits defined for the material or attribution tests with Rejected report.
| • | 4 - Urgent Release | 
Indicates whether lot is to be urgently released due to some priority to affect material. In this case, there is no need to enter measurements if the final inflow report is entered with category 4.
| • | Deliveries to Inspect | 
Input the number of subsequent deliveries to inspect in case this report is registered.
This datum is useful when there are supplier delivery problems. Thus, your next n deliveries are all checked, independently of this supplier's skip-lot determination.
| 2. | Upon completing the fields, check and confirm them. |
