Infor LN Quality Management System (QMS) Configuration
Quality Management in Infor LN provides integrated quality control across incoming inspection, in-process testing, and final inspection stages. The QMS module, configured through sessions like qmptc0110m (Inspection Plans) and qmptc0510m (Test Definitions), links quality checks directly to purchase receipts, production operations, and shipment processes. This integration ensures that quality data flows in real time to procurement, production, and engineering teams.
Inspection Plans and Test Configuration
Infor LN inspection plans defined in session qmptc0110m specify which tests to perform, the sampling frequency, acceptance criteria, and resulting actions for pass and fail outcomes. Test definitions in qmptc0510m configure individual measurement parameters including specification limits, measurement units, and statistical process control (SPC) settings. Plans can be assigned to items, vendors, work centers, or customer requirements.
- Create inspection plans in qmptc0110m linked to item-vendor combinations for incoming inspection or item-operation for in-process testing
- Define test characteristics in qmptc0510m with specification limits, tolerance bands, measurement units, and required test equipment
- Configure sampling schemes using AQL-based tables, skip-lot rules, or 100% inspection for critical characteristics
- Set up automatic inspection order generation triggered by purchase receipt, production operation completion, or shipment creation
- Link inspection plans to customer-specific quality requirements for contract manufacturing and regulated industry compliance
Non-Conformance and Disposition Management
When inspection results fall outside specifications, Infor LN creates non-conformance records through session qmncm0110m. Each NCR captures the defect type, severity, affected quantity, and root cause classification. Disposition decisions, including accept-as-is, rework, scrap, or return-to-vendor, are recorded with proper authorization trails. NCR data feeds corrective action processes and vendor quality scorecards.
- Configure non-conformance categories and severity levels in qmncm0110m with automated routing based on defect type and impact
- Define disposition workflows with authorization requirements ensuring proper sign-off for use-as-is and rework decisions
- Set up automatic vendor notification and return-to-vendor processing when incoming inspection detects non-conforming material
- Link NCR records to cost of quality tracking to quantify the financial impact of defects across internal failure and external failure categories
CAPA and Continuous Improvement
Corrective and Preventive Action (CAPA) management in Infor LN uses session qmncm0510m to track corrective actions from identification through verification of effectiveness. CAPA workflows ensure that recurring quality issues trigger root cause investigation, corrective action implementation, and effectiveness verification within defined timelines. This closed-loop quality system supports ISO 9001, AS9100, IATF 16949, and FDA compliance requirements.
- Configure CAPA workflows in qmncm0510m with defined escalation timelines, responsible party assignment, and effectiveness criteria
- Set up automatic CAPA triggers based on NCR frequency thresholds to identify systemic quality issues proactively
- Generate quality metrics dashboards showing first-pass yield, defect Pareto analysis, and CAPA aging reports per department
