Quality Record
A Quality Record is a document that provides objective evidence of activities performed or results achieved in relation to quality. Examples include inspection reports, test results, and audit findings.
TECHNICAL DEFINITION
A Quality Record, within an Industry 5.0 quality management framework, is documented evidence demonstrating the execution of quality-related activities, conformance to requirements, or the results achieved, crucial for traceability, auditing, and continuous improvement.
BACKGROUND
Manufacturing is the creation or production of goods with the help of equipment, labor, machines, tools, and chemical or biological processing or formulation. It is the essence of the secondary sector of the economy. The term may refer to a range of human activity, from handicraft to high-tech, but it is most commonly applied to industrial design, in which raw materials from the primary sector are transformed into finished goods on a large scale. Such goods may be sold to other manufacturers for the production of other more complex products, or distributed via the tertiary sector to end users and consumers.
