CALIBRATION MODULE |
|
|
|
Effective calibration and maintenance of
equipment and measuring devices is an often
overlooked, but critical component of an
effective, long-term quality management
program. ActiveQuality Software helps organizations
improve the life and accuracy of equipment
by implementing reliable, effective
calibration and maintenance processes. |

The
Test and
Calibration
module is used for tracking the use and
testing of equipment within an organization,
ensuring it meets required Open Mind, The Most Flexible and Adaptable Solutions for Your Standart
Management Systems.

accuracy and reliability. This is a key
feature of any Compliance Management System
which controls the usage of equipment in
manufacturing or servicing processes. |
|
Planning and performing calibrations for all
of your instruments constitutes a real
day-to-day organization and follow-up
challenge. |
|
This module enables you to make sure that
your calibration and manufacturing
instruments are always compliant to your own

Control and Complete Traceability |
|
The module offers complete traceability on
all test results and equipment usage. A
comprehensive history is built up on
equipment items including manufacturer and
supplier details, a log of all the jobs and
locations at which the item has been used
and a full audit trail of tests, test
results and any remedial re-working or
re-calibration required. |
|
Track the usage history, obsolescence and
revision control of equipment inventory, and
calculate metrics such as cost of inventory
management |

Effectively manage
Maintenance,
Calibration,
R&R Schedules to ensure that
activities are performed on-time |
|
Improve your bottom-line by maximizing and
extending the productive life of your
expensive capital equipment |
|
Ensure greater productivity through reduced
manufacturing downtime |
|
Reduce liability with easy recall of
products/lots measured by equipment found
defective |
|
Ensure that the right person is performing a
calibration/maintenance task, eliminating
critical errors from unqualified personnel |
|
Reduce the risk associated with producing
defective products, safety issues, and

User defined analysis for equipment :
color codes, enhanced status codes, asset
register categories etc. |
|
The Equipment Register |
|
The core of the system. Provides invaluable
feedback on any equipment; its condition,
usability, forthcoming test schedule and
whereabouts. |
|
Easy entry and listing of equipment items.
Equipment manufacturer, supplier, owner,
cost of acquisition and serial number
details. |
|
Full test history/audit trail for each
item. |
|
Full 'where used' history for each item.
User defined equipment types. |
|
Supplier and manufacturer records. |
|
Traceability |
|
Traceability is a key requirement of all
compliance systems. If equipment fails a
test it is vital to be able to trace which
jobs it has been used on. |
|
Full audit trail of locations where
equipment has been used and personnel to
whom it has been booked out. |
|
Keep a similar history of jobs on which the
equipment has been used. |
|
Definition of sites and locations where
equipment may be held. |
|
Record unscheduled or unplanned events
which can affect equipment usability :
breakdowns, accidental damage, loss etc. |
|
Test Templates and Schedules |
|
Test Template Register makes tests
re-usable. Define a test once and then
attach it to multiple equipment items. Amend
any detail as necessary for an individual
item. |
|
On-line scheduling of tests, including
recurring tests at defined intervals. |
|
Any number of tests per equipment item. |
|
Any number of measurements per test. |
|
Measurements have defined expected readings
and tolerance bands. Optional environment
variables may be defined for any test, e.g.
ambient temperature. Tests will fail if
these are outside the defined acceptable
range. |
|
Calendar view of test schedules by person,
department, and date of test. |
|
On-line entry of test details. |
|
Secure entry of test results - testers
cannot see expected result range. |
|
Automated production of certificates of
conformity. |
|
Failure certificates produced if any test
results outside acceptable range
parameters. |
|
Define corrective actions to be taken when
a given test failed. |
|
Full reporting of test details, schedules
and results. |
