Executive Summary
• Oracle’s Quality solutions are complementary in nature:
– Oracle Process Manufacturing (OPM) Quality manages
material variability with acceptance sampling to determine
conformance to specification and guide material usage
– Oracle Quality supports enforcement of quality data
collection throughout the supply chain, including raw material
procurement , equipment maintenance, warehouse procurement , equipment maintenance, warehouse
inspection, and after sales service
– Agile PLM Product Quality Management (PQM) focuses on
quality issues management and corrective actions that affect
product design and product record
Any or all of these quality solutions can be implemented
based on your quality system requirements

Agile PLM Product Quality Management Overview
Agile PLM Product Quality Management is an enterprise level
configurable quality solution tightly integrated into the product
record, facilitating product quality management in the PLM context
from concept through obsolescence, within a closed-loop, auditable
corrective action environment.

Business Scenario Examples
Receiving Inspection
BUSINESS SCENARIO
Purchased materials that are received by a plant need to pass Quality Assurance before
becoming available for production. If the material does not meet specification, action must be
taken to classify the material and address the supplier appropriately. A few months later, the
supplier is audited on their corrective action taken.
HOW ORACLE ADDRESSES IT
• Oracle Quality skip lot rules and collection plans integrated with the receiving transaction
within Oracle Purchasing determine when incoming receipts should be held for inspection.
Receiving inspection results are recorded through the Oracle Quality collection plan. Receiving inspection results are recorded through the Oracle Quality collection plan.
• Simultaneous to the receipt, an OPM Quality workflow is sent based on the supplier
specification to create and analyze a sample of the receipt.
• The OPM Quality sample disposition communicates the material acceptance back to the
Oracle Quality collection plan to complete the receiving transaction.
• The material can be inventoried or returned to the supplier as appropriate through Oracle
Purchasing.
• If the material is rejected, a supplier nonconformance can be logged and tracked through
Oracle Quality to ensure corrective action is assigned to the supplier.
• An Oracle Quality audit is conducted to gauge the effectiveness of the supplier’s corrective
action implementation.

Manufacturing Quality
BUSINESS SCENARIO
Work-in-process is checked for quality either during production processing or upon
completion. Nonconforming material must either lead to batch adjustments or reclassification
of the product and its usage.
HOW ORACLE ADDRESSES IT
• The OPM Quality specification and WIP specification validity rule dictate the quality
requirements and checkpoints in the production process.
• An OPM Quality sample is collected against a batch and its test results are recorded.
• The OPM Quality sample disposition can either release or hold batch processing or update
the product lot status and grade depending on the outcome of testing.
• Manufacturing deviations can be recorded as Oracle Quality nonconformances that are
included in the Electronic Batch Record and may lead to further corrective action.

Packaging Quality
BUSINESS SCENARIO
The packing station on the line reports that there is excessive amount of cracked bottle caps
coming off the finishing line. Manufacturing engineers confirm that all machinery has been
inspected and are calibrated to the specifications defined. The problem is causing production
delays and downtime . A quality issue is entered for resolution.
HOW ORACLE ADDRESSES IT
• PLM launches an “issue” workflow to determine the nature of the problem. Customer and
end user complaints of cracked caps are confirmed and consolidated into a single issue.
• PLM launches a quality Corrective Action and Preventative Action (CAPA) to determine the
nature of the problem and track the resolution process. This CAPA has all the “cracked cap”
problems reports linked to it, and will be the “launch platform” for all related activities.
• CAPA launches a Packaging Change Request to redesign the cap to resist cracking. This
PCR launches a Packaging Change Order that physically changes the design of the cap,
changes the packaging bill of material, and communicates this to the ERP system with
inventory instructions. CAPA launches a Document Change Order to change the
manufacturing process to reduce the tension on the line cappers to decrease the chance of
breakage on existing inventory, and communicates this to manufacturing engineering.
• At resolution, all objects linked to the resolution processes are automatically marked as
resolved, and all processes updated, with a complete audit trail of content and process.

Customer Returns
BUSINESS SCENARIO
A customer return is received and immediately inspected by Quality Assurance. Upon
identifying a damaged container, a nonconformance report is filed and the material is moved
to a quarantined area. A Material Review Board (MRB) reviews the report and its findings
then determines the disposition of the material and recommended actions, thereby closing the
nonconformance report.
HOW ORACLE ADDRESSES IT
• An Oracle Quality collection plan is initiated based on the receipt of the return in Oracle
Purchasing.
• Inspection results are recorded in the Oracle Quality collection plan with an automated
action to move the material to a MRB quarantine location.
• A nonconformance is created in Oracle Quality to launch an investigation.
• Investigation findings are recorded and reviewed through the Oracle Quality
nonconformance report.
• The MRB assigns the appropriate disposition actions for the nonconformance then updates
the report status to closed in Oracle Quality.
