What is calibration inspection in SAP QM - Quality Management?

SAP Term: calibration inspection

• Component: QM

• Component Name: Quality Management

• Description: An inspection with reference to calibration and adjustment. When a piece of measuring equipment is calibrated, the systematic deviation in measurements is determined based on predefined conditions of use, without actively changing the set up of the equipment. When the equipment is adjusted, the systematic deviation in measurements is corrected as required for its use.

• Key Concepts:
  Calibration inspection is a Quality Management (QM) component in SAP that allows users to check the accuracy of measuring instruments and other equipment. It is used to ensure that the instruments are functioning correctly and that the measurements taken are accurate. The calibration inspection process involves comparing the readings of the instrument to a known standard and making adjustments if necessary.
  
  How to use it:
  To use calibration inspection in SAP, users must first create a calibration plan. This plan will define the parameters for the inspection, such as the type of instrument being inspected, the frequency of inspections, and any special requirements. Once the plan is created, users can then create a calibration order which will specify the details of the inspection. The order can then be executed and any necessary adjustments can be made.
  
  Tips & Tricks:
  When creating a calibration plan, it is important to consider all possible scenarios that could affect the accuracy of the instrument being inspected. This includes environmental factors such as temperature and humidity, as well as any other factors that could affect the accuracy of the readings. Additionally, it is important to ensure that all necessary documents are available for reference during the inspection process.
  
  Related Information:
  Calibration inspection is closely related to other Quality Management components such as Inspection Lot Creation and Inspection Lot Processing. Additionally, it is important to note that calibration inspections must be performed regularly in order to ensure accuracy and reliability of measurements taken with instruments.
