Quality Information System Early Warning System

The Early Warning System (EWS) in the Quality Information System (QMIS) allows you to monitor critical values. If, for example, the quality score drops below the specification limit of 70, a Workflow is automatically triggered.  The data in the Information System is updated continuously with results of the standard and event-controlled processes.

The monitoring process is supported by different types of analyses (for example, trends, threshold values, and so on).

If the predefined critical tolerances are exceeded, the system can automatically trigger follow-up actions (for example, sending a message to the Production Manager).

You can compare the data with preplanned scores. You can also define your own analyses based on characteristics and scores.
