Can I assign a CTQ to specific items or categories in ManufApp? How does it work in inspections?

Yes, CTQs in ManufApp can be scoped precisely by linking them to Item Tags or Item Groups during setup. This ensures that the parameter only applies to relevant items during inspections (e.g., you may want to enforce a “Weight in kg” range only for metal sheet items, not for fasteners or electrical components).

Here’s how it works:

  • During CTQ creation, you select or attach Item Tags like RM Metal Sheets, Semi-Finished Shafts, etc.

  • When a quality user performs an IQC or in-process inspection for a tagged item, the system auto-loads the relevant CTQs.

  • Only the applicable parameters are visible, reducing clutter and guiding inspectors on what must be checked.

  • Each CTQ row can include:

    • Measurement unit (e.g., mm, kg)

    • Min/Max thresholds

    • Flags for Mandatory (must be filled) or Observation (non-blocking data collection)

    • Auto-association with Rejection Reasons if the value entered fails the limit

This item-specific linkage ensures inspections are targeted, relevant, and streamlined, improving both speed and reliability of the quality control process.
