Test Order Scheduling
Testing is an operation of quality control. Like other operations, this activity needs to be scheduled and monitored. Scheduling of test activities is the process of arranging, controlling, and optimizing work and workloads in a quality control process. Scheduling is used to coordinate activities with other operations.
Testing is a tool that can have a significant impact on the efficiency of other supply chain processes, like manufacturing and inventory management.
The scheduling function in COSMO Quality Assurance is available on Test Orders and Test Incidents. Additionally, Test Activities can be assigned to Test Order Properties. Therefore, when Test Orders are created, the Test Orders can be scheduled based on the longest Test Activity.
Rescheduling can be initiated from a batch (also available from Test Order/Test Incident) or by changing the Starting Date/Time on the document.
In COSMO Quality Assurance, the scheduling function is currently a tool for planning only; primarily, to calculate the start and end times for the following processes:
- Incoming good inspection
- Manufacturing inspection
The setup and calculation for these processes are described in this topic.
The following table describes a sequence of tasks, with links to the topics that describe them.
