Lab Reports
In the lab report the system checks whether each test related to the lab has a defined sample plan. If so, the system will take into account the nonconformances related to each test.
If the parameter MV_QERESNC content equals Y (considering each measurement outside specification as a nonconformance) the system also takes into account results out of specification. In this case, it compares the number of nonconformances found with the acceptance and rejection defined as follows:
| • | With defined Sample Plan |
| • | Simple Sampling Plans |
If the number of nonconformities is smaller or equal to acceptance, it approves the report. If it is greater or equal to rejection, it refuses it. If it is between acceptance and rejection, it approves it conditionally.
| • | Double Sampling Plans |
For double sampling plans, a second sampling is requested when the nonconformances found in first sampling are insufficient to either directly approve (<= accept) or refuse (>= reject) the report. When there are second sampling data, nonconformances of the first and second samplings are added and validated upon the second sampling's acceptance and rejection, according to rule previously described for simple sampling plans.
| • | No Defined Sampling Plan |
| • | When the test has no defined sampling plan, the report is defined according to typed results. |
| • | If a measurement is outside the specification, the report is rejected; if it is within tolerance, that is, outside the specification but within tolerance limits, the report is conditionally approved, as long as the MV_QAPCTOL parameter content equals Y, otherwise it is rejected. |
| • | If everything is as specified, Report Approved. |
| • | If a lab test report is rejected, the lab report is likewise rejected. If a test is conditionally approved, it also acquires this report; otherwise, the report is approved. |
The Physical Lab Report must be entered before the General Report. |
You can get Lab Reports for Test Sample Plans with the same characteristics, following the NBR 5426. See Sample Plan Grouping for further details.
The rejection applied to NBR 5429 type test sampling plans is defined by the defect percentage estimate, based on collected measurements. This analysis differs from the one applied to NBR 5426 tests, which defines the rejection through the count of nonconformances found.
Procedures
To define the lab report:
| 1. | Below the lab folder test listing, find displayed the data for entering the respective report. |
| 2. | Upon completion of the appropriate tests, enter the data for this lab report, completing the fields according to field help instructions, especially the following fields: |
| • | Report |
Select the type of report to ascribe this lab's tests, from the following alternatives:
A - Approved with No Restrictions.
B - Accepted with Simple Divergences.
C - Accepted with Serious Divergences.
D - With Supplier Selection.
E - Totally Rejected.
U - Urgent Release.
|
| • | Report Justification |
If the entered report type differs from A - Approved with No Restrictions, completion of report justification is mandatory.
| • | History |
Enter a chronicle about the registered lab report. This field is in Memo format and stores long texts, saved upon report confirmation.
| 3. | Upon completion of Lab Report fields, you must complete the General Report. |
