Creation of a database for entering the history of engine blocks during production in various process steps, including evaluations for tracking the engine blocks, for quality assurance and for planning.
Supplement
The areas of both data entry and evaluation are coordinated and developed together with the users of this subareas themselves. This also takes account of acute problems that lead to a excess complexity in the area of evaluations (about 90 evaluations). A Windows online help is created for the database from the written documentation.
