Infor MES Overview
The Infor MES includes 4 primary areas of functionality:
MDCC
• Time & Attendance/Job Tracking
• Production Reporting
QM
• Quality data collection
LEAP
• Electronic Kanban data collection
QM Overview
QM provides these values:
• Incoming and WIP inspections to control your product and
manufacturing processes
• Consolidate all your quality data in one database
• Electronic control plans provide one place to manage all your
inspection criteria
• Easy to use touchscreen interface
• Electronic signatures – batch/lot control – equipment ID
• Alarms/alerts/charting/email notification
• Tight integration to XA and MDCC
Let’s take a closer look at QM…
QM Highlights
This is the QM
Main Menu…

Paper-Less QM – Sample Setup Screens
From the Main Menu you can
perform all the setup functions
7
Paper-Less QM – Sample Setup Screens
You start by defining test
equipment, defect codes,
trends, units-of-measure, etc…
8
Paper-Less QM – Sample Setup Screens (Control Plans)
…then you create a Control Plan.
Control plans are location,
revision level, and effective date
controlled. We also include a
complete maintenance history to
help you track all the changes
made to your control plans.

with a single item or with a family
of items. You can add tester
notes, attachments, and enable
“electronic signatures” that will
require the tester to enter their
badge and password prior to
entering test results.
10
Paper-Less QM – Sample Setup Screens (Control Plans)
You define the type of test you want
to perform:
-Attribute
-Variable
Attribute Entry enables test results
to be entered using simple buttons
with text or they can enter a qty of a
result such as 95 Passed and 5
Failed. You define the appropriate
defect codes, how and what to test,
and what to do when you have a
problem or non-conforming part.
11
QM
Sample Setup Screens (Control Plans)
Variable Paper-Less
Entry gives you
the–ability
to input numeric test results. You
define what unit of measure to use,
target values, upper and lower
control and specification limits, and
even the number of decimals you
allow the tester to enter.
12
Paper-Less QM – Sample Setup Screens (Control Plans)
To further assist the tester during
test entry, you can add
attachments, “rich text” (images
and text), even videos, etc.
13
Paper-Less QM – Sample Setup Screens (Control Plans)
Here you can define the Sample Size and Timing
using 100% inspection, fixed sample sizes or AQL
sampling plans. You can “link” the test to a specific
operation or work center for Mfg Orders, and to all
purchase orders for an item or just a specific vendor
for that item. The Sampling Plan can be overridden at
the vendor level for purchased parts.
14
Paper-Less QM – Sample Setup Screens (Control Plans)
And finally, you can create Alarms that enable
you to specify trend conditions to monitor for,
and the response the system should take when
an alarm is triggered. Responses can include
tester notification, creating a non conforming
material report, and even the ability to send an
e-mail to notify appropriate personnel.
15
QM in action…
16
Paper-Less QM – In action
QM is fully integrated with MDCC Mfg
Orders. Test “notification” and entry is
automatically displayed when
performing a Job-On transaction and/or
when reporting production qty activity
at Job Off.
17
Paper-Less QM – In action
You can also test inbound
materials received from your
suppliers from directly within
QM.
18
Paper-Less QM – Test entry
Test entry begins by providing the
tester with a summary of all the critical
quality information required for test
entry including what needs to tested,
how to test it, sampling sizes, etc.
19
Paper-Less QM – Test entry
The Control Plan manages when and how to
enter test data for multiple items. You can use
two entry methods:
- page (enter multiple characteristic tests for
the same sample piece)
- sequential (the same characteristic tests for
multiple sample pieces)
20
Paper-Less QM – Test entry
As each test is presented, you can
require entry/identification of the test
equipment used, a batch/lot number,
serial numbers, electronic signatures,
etc.
21
Paper-Less QM – Test entry
The tester then enters the test
results and any pertinent
observations about the test.
22
If a problem orQM

part is identified, you can enter
one or more defect codes and
their quantities to define what
defects were found…
23
Paper-Less QM – Test entry
…and automatically create a nonconforming material report, or
send an email notification that you
have a problem on the floor.
24
Paper-Less QM – Test entry
This is an example of the automatic
email notification. You define what
information you want to send and who
it goes to! The message can also be
configured to use variables in the body
of the email that will include info such
as the order, item number, vendor,
workcenter, characteristic, date/time
stamp, etc.
25
Paper-Less QM – Non-Conformance reporting and
management
You can manage and update
non-conformance reports.
26

CPM provides these enhancements to QM:
• New characteristics types (beyond attribute and variable)
• XML interface
• Thin client architecture
• Enhanced NCR
• Role based / workflow design
• Positioned for SOA, OAGIS and ESB Enterprise Service Bus
• And more!
