Share Business assets take many forms, from raw materials and finished goods inventories to intellectual property and software. It forms the basis of maintenance planning and supports equipment lifecycle management. In its most straightforward form, an asset register is a list of assets. It could form part of the asset register.)
Typically, these will be presented in the form of a pareto chart, letting management focus on the biggest issues. Workers deviating from StandardOperatingProcedures (SOPs): Changing the assembly sequence or using the wrong tool could result in a product not performing as designed.
A Quality Management System (QMS) addresses how activities are performed (through StandardOperatingProcedures, SOPs) and detection of nonconforming product (through quality control in manufacturing operations). By mandating best practices, SOPs eliminate variability in how work is done.
