About this title

From the Back Cover

Much more than simply a guide and reference to the SAP R/3 Quality Management (QM) module, this book introduces R/3 and the principles of quality management systems alongside each other.

Before getting inside the module itself, the authors describe the relevant QM business processes and the position of quality management at the heart of the logistics chain. With the advantage of this overall perspective, users will be better able to adapt the module, and the R/3 system, to their individual requirements. Using a multitude of illustrated examples, the authors detail the functions of the QM module and enable the reader to identify the most effective solution for their organization.

From the Inside Flap

Preface

This book deals with the functions of Quality Management in SAP R/3 in the core processes of logistics: Purchasing, Production, Sales and Distribution, and Service. As the Quality Management module is embedded in the individual processes, not only the components themselves but also the interfaces and contact points to other components are explained. Building on the quality-relevant master data of the material and the basic data of the Quality Management module, we describe the processes of inspection planning, inspection lot creation and inspection lot completion. Furthermore, the quality notification, test equipment management and many other topics of significance are discussed in detail. The various functions are clearly described, illustrated with examples, scenarios and screenshots. The basis of our descriptions and source of the screenshots is the R/3 Release 4.5B, whereby the preceding versions 3.1 and 4.0 are taken into account in the discussion. Most of the examples were created using the IDES training system from SAP, Release 4.5B. The book is directed at all readers interested in Quality Management with SAP R/3, whether you are already working with R/3 or planning to switch to R/3. It addresses users, implementation project managers, quality managers and staff, consultants for the implementation of R/3 and/or for the Quality Management module of R/3, and all those who wish to further their careers with profound specialist knowledge. The idea for the book came about during a joint implementation project for the Quality Management module. The successful cooperation and the fact that there has so far been hardly any literature dealing with this subject led to this joint project. The authors have both been able to gather 10 years of experience in quality management. The practical experience of SAP consulting, the experience in implementation of the Quality Management module in companies, the know-how from operative quality management and as R/3 users form an ideal combination that will be particularly informative and interesting for readers.
