What is a Critical to Quality (CTQ) parameter in ManufApp, and why is it important?
A Critical to Quality (CTQ) parameter in ManufApp is a measurable attribute or control point that directly impacts the quality of a product or process. Examples include weight tolerance, thickness range, surface finish, or dimension accuracy. These are set based on design specifications or quality standards.
CTQs help quality teams enforce:
Objective inspections: By providing defined limits (e.g., min/max values), inspections are no longer subjective.
Traceability: Each inspection entry is linked to specific CTQ criteria, ensuring compliance and audit readiness.
Rejection logic: If entered values fall outside the CTQ thresholds during inspections, the system can automatically trigger a rejection reason.
Consistency across shifts/inspectors: With standardized parameters, quality checks are uniform regardless of who performs them.
Using CTQs makes the quality control process data-driven, minimizes errors, and aligns production outcomes with customer and design requirements.
