Quality Employee Validation Maintenance Version MES15.72 Revision B1

Quality

42Q has established itself as an organization that continuously pursues excellence in performance and quality in the areas of customer and demand management, supply chain management, product execution, and plant compliance.42Q has incorporated into 42Q the tools that allow users to monitor manufacturing efficiency and performance. These tools include a variety of Statistical Process Control (SPC) and Employee Validation portlets, such as the configuration of monitors, collection and analysis of data, viewing of charts, as well as employee and class maintenance.

Employee Validation Setup

This module is responsible for creating training that operators should perform to work in manufacturing processes. The whole operator control (registration and information maintenance), training, and certificates required for the operators working on the shop floor (mainly in medical plants) will be administered by this feature. Employee Validation is a manual input module that allows individuals working on the employee, other than those creating a new configuration and maintaining an existing one. It provides a method of creating employee/password/training records that can be administered by non-SFDC personnel and provides a method of identifying specific processes that must be controlled. It will still support the traditional login methods for data collectors without controlled processes.

Employee Validation is accessed using two paths:

Shop Floor Control > Configuration > Employee Validation Configuration
Quality > Employee Validation Maintenance
