Issue ? Implementing a Calibration Testing Schedule
Implementing a calibration management system requires a system that can easily handle scheduling of multiple activities and includes a comprehensive test register. Without a plan it is difficult to manage internal resources and to engage with production in order to free up equipment for test.
Value
Improved visibility of overall calibration activity as well as individuals aids planning and helps prioritise work.
Full traceability on all instrumentation including Reference Instruments can be achieved.
Calibrations are managed in a controlled way with process and calibration tolerances set and both before and after values tracked.
Solution
By highlighting all work on one system, plans can be made to tackle and prioritise work ensuring that essential calibrations are visible and that activities are completed on time.
A full audit trail also ensures the integrity of the system and provides confidence in its use.
The system also produces test labels for enhanced control and reduces the human error component often possible in transcribing information.
