Resumo

Driven by customers, especially from the automotive sector, the supply of 100% prime quality has become essential. Furthermore the implication of quality costs and the yield of first class products define the steel companies' profitability and overall success significantly. The SMS group together with its subsidiary MET/Con has developed a comprehensive solution to assess the product quality over the production and processing chain. Process and production parameters originating from various data sources of the process automation are examined on their impact of quality related characteristics.Expert know how and comprehensive operational experience is translated into a quality guideline and a regulation framework as the sensitive core of the PQA solution.Once implemented, the system identifies immediately steel grade specific, deviations from ideal standard and proposes corrective actions including a final evaluation for each product at each processing step.The X-Pact® PQA (Product Quality Assessment) system is a substantial tool for root cause quality analysis and provides the required support to the production team. It will become an integral part of the corporate quality management system.
