Module-based QIS Modeling for Production Logistics in SME

This study proposes an object-oriented modelling for the quality information system as a module able to be integrated with other production logistics back office systems. Using the UML modelling tools such as component and class diagrams, the model addresses the highest level quality business processes and data structure as well as all identified providing and depending interfaces and the messaging system in a module-based framework design. The methodology and adopted procedures are explained in details of which provide a better understanding of the modelling and the possibility for the lower-levels quality data extensions following the same framework. The model is able to manipulate all quality control data for purchasing, production and remedy operation in a lot-based make-to-order production system within a defined module.
