SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR CONTROLLING THE QUALITY OF A PRODUCT FAMILY

摘要

The invention relates to a system and method for controlling quality on a production line comprising a number of workstations for producing a complex product, in particular a motor vehicle. With increasingly complex products it is necessary for quality assurance purposes to identify and classify any defects and quality complaints that have occurred concerning the product, in order to ensure the complete elimination of said defects and complaints. According to the invention, a number of stationary and/or mobile data entry devices (4 - 8) are provided, both on the production line (10) and at adjacent workstations (2, 3), on which data is inputted for the defects that have occurred. The data entry devices (4 - 8) transmit the inputted data at least to a central processing unit (9) which evaluates said data according to defined selection criteria and transmits the evaluated data, based on the relevance thereof, to output devices (11 - 13) on the production line (10) and at the workstations (2, 3) which are adjacent to said production line. The output devices (11 - 13) output the evaluated data according to defined evaluation criteria.
