Assessment of Real-Time Factory Performance Through the Application of Multi-Relationship Evaluation Design.

摘要

Successful operations within manufacturing environments require both accurate and precise information flow from one operation to the next. Incorrect, too little, or too much information can slow the manufacturing process and/or result in poor quality output. The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) is developing and testing new integrated information models for use in manufacturing and quality measurement equipment. Numerous information types are required and distributed during the steps of the manufacturing and quality measurement process. Experts from the manufacturing quality community have been drafted to design and refine the Quality Information Framework (QIF) to ensure quality is appropriately injected into the manufacturing process. QIF is defined as a suite of integrated XML Schema based standards enabling the seamless flow of information within computer-aided quality measurement systems. QIF presents a range of information including quality measurement plans, measurement results, measurement rules, measurement resources, and analysis of results.
