Abstract

ISO 9000 certification is becoming an important competitive factor for foundries. Considerable organizational effort and expertise are needed to achieve this certification, which may be too time-consuming and expensive for many small to medium-sized companies. This paper will present the development of an object-oriented system to support the ISO certification process, with particular emphasis on clause 4.20 (use of statistical techniques). Recommendations for the design and implementation of each statistical tool are provided by the system, as well as training examples of suitable process monitoring and improvement procedures. The system runs on a microcomputer platform and was constructed utilizing Visual BASIC.
