This Text/characters turns RED if an ECO  (Engineering Change Order) is Added and Saved. When the ECO is approved, this button characters turns back to gray. This criteria is based on the product number and no revision number as the ECO will change the revision number.

This feature has been added because of the importance of the users needing to know that an ECO is being initiated by the production personnel.  This will help prevent product being built according to the original instructions and cut down on any additional rework or schedule delays.

1.3. Quality Inspection Entry Tab

Quality Inspection Entry Screen Field Definitions

Work Order Number

The Work Order number which was inspected.

Serial Number

The serial number assigned to the specific assembly unit.

NPF

The next field, “NPF”, no problems found, is provided for the user to record when observing the product. If the serial number had previously been rejected, and analysis of the product yield no further problem, either with cosmetics or function, then the user may change this number to 1, meaning the first time it was inspected or tested, no problem was found. If the product serial number is subsequently rejected again, and a second inspection finds a problem, the number may be incremented to a “2”. This will alert users to repeated rejections of a product serial number, one or more times with no discernable defects. If the number of times that a part has experienced an NPF (no of problems found) exceeds that established in the Quality Defect Codes setup, the user will receive a warning message and will allow you to proceed on with the Inspection. This is just a notification that the board has passed the maximum NPF cycle.

Inspection Work Center

This is the name of the Work Center where the inspection took place.

Lot Size

This is the number of assemblies available for testing.

Insp Qty

This is the number ofassemblies actually tested.

Fail Qty

The number of assemblies which failed inspection.

Date

The date whereby the inspection took place.

Time

The time (24 hour clock) when the failure was recorded.

Rework Time The time estimated to rework the failed assembly
Pass Qty

The number of assemblies which passed inspection.

Yield

The percentage of assemblies which passed inspection.

Pass Times This is the number of times a particular Serial Number can pass through this Inspection screen. In Quality Defect Code Setup, there is a field called :maximum number of inspections/WC”.  The user may define how many times a given serial number can pass through a given Work Center.
Product Number

The internal number assigned to the assembly.

Rev

The revision number associated with the Product Number.

Product ID

This field is no longer used and is left blank.

Skip Serial Number Field

This box is checked if the user wishes to do Without Serial Number Inspection.

Enter Serial Number Without Validation

Only Enabled if user skips regular serial number entry.

This feature has been added to allow the users the ability to inspect Serial Numbers that do not actually exist within the ManEx system. (for example serial number created outside of ManEx, by customer or other software, etc. . .)If the user checks the “Enter serial number without validation” then ManEx does not validate when the users enters the Serial Number. The system just records the entry for later SQC analysis purpose.(note: if the work order is serialized, then the user can not use this feature)

Inspection Mode

Determines whether inspection is performed via Batch or In Line mode.

Batch mode is used for entering data previously recorded during inspection of the product. When the user chooses to enter defect data in “In-Line” mode with the serial number, the user won’t be able to enter “lot quantity”, “inspection quantity” or “failed quantity”. These fields are all automatically when the user goes into the “Defects Information” tab.  However, if the user enters defect data in “batch” mode without the serial number, then the user will be able to enter “lot quantity”, “inspection quantity” and “failed quantity”.

If the user wishes to 100% inspect material, and directly move the passed material to the next routing work center, then the In-Line Inspection mode may be used.

Work Center Inspection

The user has the option of viewing defects based on the product routing (Product Routing), or to view all defects (Maximum Routing).
