Quality Management

The growing adoption of Six Sigma and Lean Manufacturing initiatives highlights the importance manufacturers place on improving product quality. However, despite the priority given to quality, many manufacturers have difficulty providing their quality improvement teams with the information they need to build quality into their manufacturing processes.

Tecnomatix Quality Management helps enhance your Six Sigma and Lean initiatives by providing a graphical environment to analyze dimensional variation; generate complete, verifiable CAD-based machine inspection programs for Coordinate Measuring Machines (CMMs) and NC machine tools; and share quality data. By ensuring, in a digital environment, that parts fit and work together properly, you avoid expensive build problems related to variation. And by making quality information more accessible and easier to understand, you can attain quality objectives faster and more cost effectively.

Reducing variation through dimensional analysis planning includes a powerful dimensional analysis tool to predict the amounts and causes of variation in manufacturing processes. This helps you reduce the negative impact of variation on product quality, product cost and time to market. With this tool, your engineers can create a 3D digital prototype to simulate the production run, including a full representation of parts, tolerances and process variation. The model predicts if there will be assembly build problems and identifies their root causes - before physical parts are made or tooling is cut.

Tecnomatix Quality Management also enables you to generate complex inspection programs for machines and perform quick and accurate analysis by comparing inspected data with specified design features and tolerances. The software uses nominal CAD geometry to generate, optimize and verify off-line inspection programs for CMMs and NC machine tools. It helps you interpret component and assembly tolerances defined by product design that can be used during programming for the identification of critical features and analysis of inspection results.

Tecnomatix Quality Management can perform consistent and accurate quality analysis by comparing part inspection results against design tolerances. Results are presented in a customizable HTML format. A part inspected on different machines can be consistently analyzed, thus providing an unambiguous interpretation of the results.

In the Tecnomatix Quality Management environment, production measurement data is stored on an open manufacturing backbone and can be graphically displayed, analyzed and communicated throughout the extended enterprise. Engineers can create and share reports combining measurement inspection data with lightweight 3D geometry. These reports can include statistical process control (SPC) charts, customized views of geometry, cross-sections and text markups. By making visually compelling quality data available on every desktop, you ensure your quality improvement teams have the information needed when it can make a difference.
