A Sampling Plan is a plan or procedure that gives you the number of samples
you will need to check out of that batch (or lot size, or range) of Parts that
you received from our Customer.  In other words, the minimum number
that should be tested for whatever you're testing (e.g. hardness, coating
thickness, etc.), in order to have a valid sampling of the processing you've done.

 

The Control Plan is an integral part of an effective product quality system.
It improves product quality by identifying the sources of variation in a
process and establishing controls to monitor and react to them.

​

Bright AM I Advanced Control/Sampling Plans™ effectively allows
you to have a Work Order (or Job Traveler) with Part-specific Control
Plans attached to it.  Additionally, you now have the added functionality
of attaching Sampling Plans to Control Plan Characteristics.  

 

How closely do you need to control quality characteristics?  At the Work
Order or at the Individual Operation?

​

Bright AM™ allows you to set up Sampling Plans with:

• A fixed number of samples;

• A percentage of Parts to determine samples;

• An AQL (Acceptance Quality Limit) defined with the required samples for inspections.

​​

Bright AM Sampling Plans™ helps you set up what is applicable to your requirements, and helps you control:

• How many samples should be picked and inspected, among a batch of product or parts?

• Where is the limit between acceptability and refusal, when it comes to defective products?

 

You can store all of your Sampling Plans within Bright AM™ which can be attached to a Control Plan Characteristic.  By setting the Sample Plan to the Control Plan Characteristic, Bright AM™ shows the production floor Operator how many samples are needed for a given lot size, or batch, or the Part quality you have set up on a particular Work Order.  And, you can use your own naming convention that "fits" your processing environment.
