The process of managing gage calibrations or verifications involves not only scheduling but also maintaining thorough historical records of all related activities. Key components include conducting Measurement System Analysis, which encompasses various aspects like GRR, Stability, Bias, Linearity, and Attribute Crosstab. A crucial part of this process is to document before and after readings throughout the gage's operating range. The calibration schedule can be determined based on either a time interval or the frequency of gage usage. Additionally, it is important to link external documents, such as calibration certificates, to the respective calibration records for easy reference. The calibration procedure should allow for customizable steps necessary for gage calibration, including fields defined by the user. To ensure data integrity, there should be options in place to limit edits to existing calibration records, while an audit trail feature should track the history of record changes prior to any edits. Furthermore, it is essential to allow for the rescheduling of gage calibration due dates that might coincide with holidays or weekends. Lastly, implementing flexible report filtering options will facilitate easy access to information based on parameters such as overdue calibrations, date ranges, gage IDs, and specific locations. This comprehensive approach ensures accurate and efficient management of gage calibration processes.
