SAP MII Application for Manufacturing Quality Management

In my earlier blog I have given a summary about how SAP MII can communicate with lab instruments , to extent this and leverage the advantage of SAP MII Messaging facilities , how we should build a light-weight SAP MII application for Quality Management for a Manufacturing plant

Lets take a commercial of the self LIMS, usually its have
Samples management, laboratory users management, instruments integration , adopt the standards like audit trial and other laboratory functions such as sample invoicing, and workflow automation

To build an exclusive LIMS system in SAP MII is not a feasible solution I would say, rather we can make use of SAP MII to enable the crucial quality management functionalities which is basically required in the manufacturing plant

Let’s take a set of key functionalities which may required in a shop floor

1. Sampling and Sample Tracking (Sample Management)
2. Test Management
3. Application Integration
o With Control Systems
o With ERP
o With MES and other Sub Systems
4. Label Generation
5. Instrument Management
6. Certificate Of Analysis (COA)
7. SOP References
8. Result Entry (Manual / Automated)
9. Analysis Calculations
10. Event Triggers

And more….
Here , the list # 4 and 5 has been already given in my blog, lets see about basic sample management/Test/Result

In Sample Management
– System should automatically allocate a unique identification number for each registered sample, so that its analysis, approval and certification can be fully tracked
Sample Life Cycle
Lets see what we need to do to enable the sample management in SAP MII platform
