CLICK TO CONFIGURE > RPM relations

RPM relations relates Results, with Quality SPC programmes and Measures. This means that to each result, a different measurement programme can be associated, and to each programme, one or various measurements can be associated. Having various measurement programmes allows, for example, to apply a more strict programme in certain periods, without changing the measurements.

In the upper part: you will see the configuration for the measurement programmes, with a grid with the programs for each result already configured

In the lower part: you will see the configuration for the measures and a grid with the ones already configured

Above each grid you will see the configuration parameters,  with which you can perform operations such as Insert, Save to the grid or Delete.

CONFIGURATION PARAMETERS:

    • Result: result code and description.
    • Program: code and description of the measurement programme.
    • URL: document or application that will be opened when the user clicks on the that appears after having clicked on the measure, on the quality (spc) window. Please see how to configure URLs. URLs can be selected from and its syntax can be cheched from the button .
    • Type:
      • Results: if measurements are taken measuring all variables of the same result.
      • Measures: if measurements are taken measuring the same variable of all results.
      • All Measures: if measurements are taken measuring all variables of all the results.
    • Active: If not marked, program measurements will not be requested to the user.
    • Code: code and description of the measurement.
    • Size: size of the subgroup. Number of results to be measured at a time. In the program types "Pieces" and "All Measures", the size of the subgroup must be the same for all measures.
    • Resolution: maximum allowed resolution.
    • CPK: CPK target (see quality SPC for more information).
    • Auto (check): if the control limits should be recalculated automatically. It is necessary to configure the server to calculate every certain time and for specific data.
    • Ign. Alerts: select in which case alerts are ignored:
      • Trend: the terminal will not warn nor request for justification when there will be 7 or more points ascending, descending, above or below the average.
      • Limits and trend: the terminal will not warn nor request for justification when there will be 7 or more points ascending, descending, above or below the average or when a point exceeds the control limits.
    • Source: what measurement data source will be used.
    • Process: if the measurement is associated and restricted to a specific process.
    • Every: every how many productive minutes the user will be requested to introduce this SPC measurement. This will be indicated through the blinking of the SPC button on the main window. If a 20% of this time has been surpassed, a justification will be asked in the form of a text of why the working user is not introducing SPC data. The terminal will be blocked until this justification is made.
    • Event: when any of these events happen, this measurement will be requested to the user. Events can be:
      • Result change: request the measure every time the result is changed.
      • Order change: request the measure every time the order is changed.
      • Result or order change: request the measure every time the result or the order change.
      • Stop, 1 time: request the measure when the process is stopped for more or equal than the time indicated in the previous field (Every). This measure will be requested only one time.

BUTTONS AND FUNCTIONALITIES:

    • Limits: allows to configure the control, client and entry limits.
    • Fields: allows to apply quality validations to fields. New validations can be added by using the development modules (API).
    • Calculate: allows to calculate the control limits at this moment, according to the number of data indicated in the server. Only by clicking on the Modify button, the control limits that are introduced manually or automatically calculated, will be transferred to the data base.
    • Copy: copies into memory what has been selected. That is, if only one program is selected, it will copy all the measures of the program. If a measure is selected, it will copy only that measure.
    • Paste: pastes, from memory, what was previously copied with the previous copy button.
