Enter Analysis Results for Inventory Part
Explanation
Use this activity to enter analysis results for an inventory part.
You can change the status of a data point to Complete. Only data points in
Complete status are considered when creating control charts or calculating capability indices.
Once the data point has this status, the results cannot be edited. You can also create a new control chart
if SPC is
activated in the control plan.
When all
data points for an analysis have been reported, you can change the status to
Confirmed.
Once an analysis has been confirmed, the results cannot be edited.
This activity contains a Security Checkpoint which can be activated by an
administrator. With an activated security checkpoint on a function you will have
to authenticate yourself again in order to fulfill the function. Additionally,
whenever a security checkpoint is successfully passed a security checkpoint log
is written, creating an audit trail of what is done.
