Pre-requisites

  • Microsoft Dynamics Business Central
  • Cronus International Ltd. demonstration database.
  • STAEDEAN Quality Management demo set.

To create Question List

  1. Go to: CRONUS International Ltd./Departments/STAEDEAN Product Management/Quality Management
  2. Under Administration > Questions Setup > Question List
  3. Create new Questions.

For example

Question Code Scope Description Type Boolean Value Numeric Target Value Lookup Value
Broken Item Broken Chair Boolean No - -
Paint Item Paint Quality Boolean Yes - -
Colour Item Paint Colour Lookup - - - Black
- Blue
- Red
- White
Length Item Chair Length Numeric - 100 -

In this table there are certain questions which are generic such as Colour, Length, Width and Height, which means that these questions are applicable to not just this particular item but all items which fall under same category.

To Set Numeric values for a Question

The Question Tolerances for Numeric Question are set from the Questions card. The Question Tolerances fast-tab is dynamic and is only visible when the question type is NUMERIC.
The Question tolerance value can be set as per the below example:

From Value To Value Score Result Status
100 100 150 Accepted
99 101 100 Accepted
98 102 50 Ambiguous
97 103 25 Ambiguous
96 104 1 Rejected

NOTE: *Comparison of actual recorded value against the value defined for a question happens in top down approach. For this example, target value is 100 and for this reason gets the highest score. From 99 to 101 is still accepted but scores lower.

To Set Lookup values for a Question

The Question Lookup Values fast-tab is dynamic and is only visible when the question type is LOOKUP.
The Question Lookup value can be set as per the below example:

Lookup Target Value Score
Black Yes 10
Blue Yes 10
Red Yes 5
White No 1

NOTE: *comparison of actual recorded value against the value defined for a question happens in top down approach.
