Quality Specification Management Features and Functions
Specifications are typically characteristics that are measured on actual materials to determine actual values as compared to targets after production or procurement. Specifications, as defined in this RFI, represent dynamic characteristics of a product that typically do not change on a unit-by-unit, lot-by-lot, or batch-by-batch basis. Specifications differ from material attributes, in this definition, because attributes represent stable characteristics of a product that typically do not change on a unit-by-unit, lot-by-lot, or batch-by-batch basis. To verify the accuracy and effectiveness of the production process, material samples are often taken. Samples are sometimes taken for future reference or as a blind process, so not every sample is tested. In this model, we treat sampling and testing as different activities, although some manufacturers that test every sample may think of them as one activity.
