Abstract

Evaluation Information systems Methods Product development Quality control Statistical analysis Theory
The concept of an information center for planning and controlling the quality of products and processes in a factory is introduced. This center is called the Quality Assurance Information System (QAIS). Its role is to tie together such quality achievement-related functions as design, manufacturing, and other factory management systems to plan, optimize, and monitor overall computer-integrated manufacturing network performance. The quality functions of QAIS are viewed as carried out through coordination and precoordination activities. Precoordination aims at organizing the participation of all subsystems in the factory network in the planning of new product development and in providing methodologies for system evaluation and trade-off analysis for better solutions and integration. A formal approach for dealing with precoordination activities proposes a methodology for the quantitative evaluation and selection of appropriate complex systems.
