Quality inspection guide
GIQ2 / ESB / 11.1998 1
Foreword On the strength of its experience, the Groupe Schneider has always sought to produce quality equipment. But what exactly do we mean by Quality. It is: “ the set of properties and characteristics of a product or service which make it suitable to satisfy implicit or explicit needs (NFX 50-120). ” Although final inspection is in some respects a statement of failure (as we have not been able to control the necessary quality throughout the assembly process) it is nevertheless a vital stage in equipment production. This stage must be performed with care and rigour, both with respect to customer specifications (explicit needs), and proper operating procedures (implicit needs), in order to satisfy the customer. This amended quality inspection guide (GIQ2), designed by ESB specially for you, contains all the procedures and instructions extensively inspired by our units in France. This document completes the range of existing guides (technical guides, tool guide) to which we often refer in the various chapters. By adapting it to your own needs, it should ensure that you obtain an equipment production quality of the standard desired by Schneider and able to satisfy the requirements of our customers. We can guarantee the durability of this document by means of regular exchanges. Please contact us at the numbers below. Thank you for your contribution.

GIQ2 / ESB / 11.1998 4
Procedure “ Set of organisational rules of an administrative nature in order to achieve a certain result (see Petit Robert dictionary) “ Specified way of accomplishing an activity ” (see ISO 9001)
1. Justification of quality inspection The complexity of LV equipment and the large number of human interventions and thus risk of errors, are the main reasons for its implementation. It is also stipulated in the standards (see I.E.C. 439.1) which defines three routine tests (or individual tests) to complete the type tests: n giving the equipment the TTA label (Type Tested Assembly), n and which are binding on the panel builder’s responsibility. These three individual tests are: n Electrical operation, n Dielectric tests and/or measurement of insulation resistance, n Checking of the electrical continuity of the protective circuit.
Quality inspection: means and procedures
GIQ2 / ESB / 11.1998 5
Quality inspection has several aims: n Error detection. The tree-structured diagram below shows the main causes of error found on LV switchboards. These errors may stem from people, equipment or materials.
n Cost reduction. A study shows that a fault can cost one hundred to one thousand times more than if it had been detected during the switchboard design phase (see graph below). The Quality inspection therefore contributes: n to the guarantee of quality of Schneider equipment: o by preserving the company’s brand image, o by guiding training according to the anomalies observed. n to the safety of people and equipment, n to the economic results of the company.

2. Quality inspection
2.1. Quality inspection function o Perform the inspection with respect to: – the project file and the customer document, – Schneider rules and products, – IEC standards. o Carry out acceptance tests in the customers’ presence. o Perform quality follow-up and corrective actions.
2.2. Quality inspection responsibility Quality inspection: o is directly attached to management and independent from manufacture, o can delay delivery of a project and require reworking to ensure conformity, o performs the corrective actions, o in event of a dispute, informs the unit manager who alone has the power to decide, o is responsible for the safety of all people working in the quality inspection zone.
2.3. Quality inspector’s profile o Electrotechnical training (B.T.S. or equivalent: higher technician’s certificate), o Versatile, o Sound knowledge of Schneider equipment, o Authorised to work near electrical current: – Knowledge of the hazards of electrical current, – Authorisation by approved training course, – Basic notions of first-aid.
2.4. Quality inspection zone o is independent from production, o must be physically separated from the other departments: – for reasons linked to the hazards of electrical current, – for protection of people and equipment, o is clearly marked out (tapes, partitions, etc.) o is clearly indicated (warning beacon, flashing light, etc.)
2.5. Necessary documents To carry out the various checks, the quality inspector must possess a complete, updated file of the project and the customer technical specifications.
2.6. Dedicated material means The quality inspector must: o Have the necessary inspection means (mechanical and electrical): – Test desk, variable current and voltage sources, – Inspector, peak demand, – Dielectrometer, insulation monitor, – Tools, – Mounting plates, – Associated documents. o Ensure periodical calibration of his equipment.
Quality inspection: means and procedures
GIQ2 / ESB / 11.1998 7
2.7. Necessary human resources In the Groupe’s equipment units, the quality inspectors account for approximately 10% of workforce, i.e. 1 quality inspector for 8 to 10 cablers/fitters.
3. Continuous inspection n Continuous inspection consists of carrying out checks throughout manufacture in the form of: o Operator checks which make each operator responsible for the quality of his work. The instructions provided at each manufacturing stage enable these checks to be formally defined (see ISO 9000). o Systematic inspection or sampling which is part of quality inspection and takes place during manufacture. n A follow-up sheet must be used to log the status of the inspections performed. n The various inspections can be modelled by the diagram below: This diagram represents the operations on which in-process inspections are carried out. The many phases in which operator inspections and incoming quality inspection are performed are clearly marked.
NB: Despite the operator checks performed for each operation, final inspection is always necessary. It can be reduced but never completely removed, particularly as it is stipulated by standard IEC 439.1.

GIQ2 / ESB / 11.1998 8
4. Final inspection Final inspection guarantees operation and conformity of products with respect to applicable drawings and standards. It is performed by the unit’s Q.I. department. A document per project formulating the customer’s requirements and transcribing the specification is used for the checking phases during assembly and for final inspection. It forms the first reference document (project file). n The final inspection takes place as follows: o Carry out the conformity check, o Conduct the tests, o Modify the Project Design file by adding any necessary annotations (throughout testing), o List all the nonconformities: – by drafting a list of missing parts, – by noting all the faults observed. o Draft the report, o Ensure reworking for conformity, o If customer acceptance is scheduled, receive the customer and his representative in the quality inspection zone. Carry out the tests and ask him to sign the report at the end of customer acceptance, o Point out any areas of dispute between customer and supplier, o Ensure that the Project Design documents have been properly updated, by checking final version status and dating the versions, o Sign the documents and in particular the report o Archive the final inspection documents. n List of the various final inspection tests: a. conformity checks: o Enclosure, – Appearance, – Composition, o Framework, o Devices, o Busbars, o PE and (or) PEN protection busbars, o Flexible busbars, o Cables, o Connections.

5. Summarising operations after final inspection
After final inspection and according to contract clauses, the Quality inspector may run a check on the project accompanied by a sales engineer and the customer. This is known as customer acceptance, in the course of which the customer ensures that the specification has been respected. NB: The following information is taken from procedures for the Merlin Gerin Alpes, Pontcharra (France) regional workshop. After final inspection, the following are required: n Check that all the boxes of the “ITP” (Inspection and Test Programme) have been filled in, n Check any reworks noted on the “enter non quality” sheet and sign in the relevant boxes, n Record and draft a report (final inspection report), n Ask the quality manager to validate the report, n Note the report number on the ITP.

6. Performing in-process inspection
6.1. Reminder The purpose of in-process inspection is to ensure product conformity after each manufacturing operation.
6.2. Composition n One assembly follow-up sheet is completed for each cubicle n It is used from the first assembly phase through to final inspection. n After each stage, the operator checks and declares product conformity by signing this sheet and noting any observations. n On completion of the inspections, a copy of this sheet is archived (see sheet example in the appendix).
7. Performing the final inspection The Quality Inspector must: n Take delivery of the switchboards to be inspected in the dedicated zone. n Examine the Project Design file n Check the observations and information given in the assembly follow-up sheet, n Perform the final inspection by following the list of tests to be carried out.
7.1. Conformity check
7.1.1. Enclosure n Appearance: o Colour and reference of paint: Use the colour palette to ensure that the reference of the paint given in the project file matches the colour of the cubicle. o Homogeneity: Perform a visual inspection to check the homogeneity of the colours of the various switchboard components (doors, panels, etc.). o Front face: Visually check that the front face of the cubicle matches that shown in the drawing of the project design file. o Finish: Check external appearance by an essentially visual inspection: no scratches, deformation, etc.
Quality inspection: instructions
GIQ2 / ESB / 11.1998 16
n Composition o Number and order of cubicles: Use the drawing of the front face of the project to ensure that the number and order of cubicles is respected. o Dimensions: Check the cubicle dimensions (height, width, length and depth) by measuring and comparing them with those stated in the project design file. o Type of form: Check the type of form against that defined in the project design file. o Mimic diagram: Check conformity of the mimic diagram compared with the power diagram. o Project identification label: – Check that the label is present and in the right position (normally it is placed at the top of the switchboard). – Check that the information marked on the label matches that in the project file o Cubicle identification markers: – Check the presence of an identification marker on each switchboard cubicle. This is normally shown in the form of a self-adhesive label. – Ensure that this label contains the registration number, signature, switchboard number and update version. – On completion of final inspection, the Quality Inspector must place his registration number or signature and indicate the date when the inspection was performed.
7.1.2. Framework n Ground fixing: Use the project design drawing to check the location of the ground fixing points and the layout of the various cubicles in the project. n Cable routing area: Check the special facilities provided for cable (top or bottom) routing or busbar trunkings. n Fixing of mounting plates, protection screens and partitioning or cowling parts: Check that all screws (and picot washers) for fixing these components are present, and check that screws are properly tightened. n Auxiliary screws: Check the presence of the screws required for joining the cubicles and for mounting fishplates and roofs. n “Danger” and “downstream live” warning plates: Ensure they are fitted if required by the product or customer.
Quality inspection: instructions
GIQ2 / ESB / 11.1998 17
n Equipment: o Use the project design file to ensure that the cubicle equipment is complete and has been installed properly (seal covers, base plates, cableways, awnings, etc.) o Panelling: Ensure the presence and proper fitting of: – the front, rear and end panels, – the roofs and bottom plates (steel, aluminium, etc.), – the doors (plain, transparent, etc.). o Conformity of cutouts in the plates: Using the drawing check the presence of any cutouts in the roofs and separation plates allowing fishplating of transfer busbars (mainly for MB 200), etc. o Checking the locks: Check matching of the lock references and the key numbers with the references given in the project design file. o Checking the degree of protection (I.P.): – This check is performed by checking the presence of the components guaranteeing the IP level stated in the project design file. Needs vary according to the required IP degree: awning, seal, front plate, etc. (information given in the product catalogues or guides). – If a seal is used, ensure it is properly positioned and continuous.
7.1.3. Switchgear n Location / identification: Use the layout diagrams in the project design file to ensure that the devices are properly placed and identified (QF1, QF2, etc.). At the same time, the nature of the labels associated with the devices and the content of the text can be checked using the project design file drawing. n Fixing the switchgear: Check the fixing of the devices on the mounting plates, doors, auxiliary compartment doors or front plates (checking that they are correctly fitted and that all the necessary screws are present). n Accessories: Visual checking of the presence of these accessories: o Crank handles for circuit-breaker extraction, o Locking of doors, o Clamps for fuse extraction, o Pins for fixing certain relays, o etc.
Quality inspection: instructions
GIQ2 / ESB / 11.1998 18
n Technical data: o For circuit-breakers: – Check the type, rating, breaking capacity and number of poles. Also check presence and technical data of their associated devices (vigi, SD switch, trip unit, etc.). – Check or carry out the settings for switchgear such as thermal and magnetic releases, time delays, etc. o Check the supply voltages for: – coils (contactors, relays, impulse relays, undervoltage or shunt coils of the Compact, Masterpact and multi 9), – switchgear motor mechanisms, – indicator lights, – all the electronic devices. All these checks must be made with respect to the project design file. n Toroids: Check the technical data of each toroid against the project design file and the customer connection cables. Also ensure the correct mounting direction: the arrow shows current direction. n Current transformer (CT): o Check the technical data of the current transformers against the project design file, together with the supply direction. For example: some manufacturers propose transformers where current must enter via P1 and leave via P2. o Check the correspondence between the current transformer and the associated device (ammeter, meter, etc.), ensuring that the current delivered by its secondary circuit is compatible with the device. o Check the clearances of the fixing screws and the connecting screws of the current transformer and particularly those near the live conductors or metal parts. n Shunt: Check the connection between the shunt and the measuring instrument. n Position of the indicators after a fault trip: trip the device, then examine the position of the indicators. n Plug-in protection flaps: Check the presence of the plug-in sealing flap. n Insulation screen / phase separator: Check they are fitted if required. n Accessibility: Check accessibility of the devices, settings, HPC fuses for replacement, coils.
E20545
Quality inspection: instructions
GIQ2 / ESB / 11.1998 19
n Safety perimeters: o Check the circuit-breaker safety perimeters referring to their installation guides, o Check if necessary, the various accessories necessary for proper operation. n Pre-tripping of the devices during plug-in and plug-out: Check operation of the mechanical systems for pre-tripping the plug-out devices on base or frame.
7.1.4. Busbars n Type: Check correspondence of the busbar type (Linergy, flat busbars) with the one shown on the project design file drawing. n Cross-section: According to nominal current (In), short-circuit current (Isc) and circuit-breaker breaking time, check that the cross-section corresponds to that shown in the switchboard technical guide. n Coating: Check the type of coating of the busbars (bare copper, tin-coated copper, sheathed busbars, epoxy paint, silver-plating, etc.). n Layout: o Check their position (horizontal, vertical) using the project design file layout drawing. o Check that the layout or arrangement of the busbars does not obstruct routing of cable connection cables. o Ensure the extension possibilities of the busbars according to specific features. n Marking: o Check correspondence of the type of labelling against the project design file. o Check that marking order (phases 1, 2, 3, neutral and PE) is respected according to the layout drawing. Phase order will be checked at a later stage. n Type of supports: Check their type referring to the switchboard technical guide. n Clearances / creepage distances: Check using the switchboard technical guide.
Quality inspection: instructions
GIQ2 / ESB / 11.1998 20
n Spacing and number of busbar supports: Check using the technical guide, the distance between supports (according to busbar cross-section and Isc). n Busbar fishplating: Check using the technical guide: o fishplate cross-section (same as busbars), o number and sufficient length. n Incomers and outgoers: Check the direction of the incomers and outgoers against those in the file. n For Linergy type busbars: Check positioning and accessibility of the connection screws. n Connection quality (busbars and flexible busbars): Check: o The number and length of bolts compared with busbar dimensions, o Screw quality (class 8/8), o Quality of drillings and surface finish (no burr or cutting marks on the flexible busbars, no oil stains, etc.). o The overlapping surfaces: H = e x n As a rule, an overlapping height equal to 4 to 5 times the thickness of the derived busbar must be counted in order to obtain the suitable overlapping surface. o For example: For Prisma P or G switchboards: n = 5 and thickness e = 5 The overlapping surface will thus be: H = e x n = 5 x 5 H = 25 mm n Radius of curvature: A minimum bending radius of curvature must be respected that is equal to r = 1.5 x e. It is considered satisfactory if we have: r ≥ 1.5 x e. If the copper is of excellent quality (CuETP), we accept: r ≥ e.
7.1.5. PE and/or PEN protection busbars n Cross-section: Check using the technical guide. n Presence and cross-section of the fishplates between the cubicles: Check that fishplate cross-section is at least equal to the cross-section of the busbar to be connected (see technical guide). n In some configurations (earthing systems: TNC, TNS), check presence of the PEN/PE connection. n Two-colour green/yellow marking: Check presence of the green/yellow markings and PE or PEN lozenges on the conductors. n Earthing fishplate: Check presence and cross-section of fishplate. Then ensure that its cross-section is the same as that of the earth busbar (for PEN).

7.1.6. Flexible busbars n Cross-section: To be checked according to the device rating using the technical guide. n Radius of curvature of the flexible busbars (at least once busbar thickness). n In the event of a superimposed busbar installation, ensure that insulating spacers are placed between the conductors to provide proper ventilation. n Binding: Check that the type and number of bindings used correspond to those marked in the LV switchboard implementation guide. For example: No direct binding on metal parts. If necessary fit an insulating wedge. n Check the connections: presence of the thick washer and the contact washer (see LV switchboard implementation guide).
7.1.7. Cables n Cross-section of power, auxiliary and protection conductors: Check cross-section referring to the switchboard technical guide. n Nature of cables: Check that they are Ui 1000 V insulated, with an utilisation temperature of <105°C and self-extinguishing (Schneider recommendation). n Protection of cables: Check that the cables do not run near sharp edges, moving parts or exposed live parts. n Radius of curvature: Ensure that the cable radius of curvature is roughly 6 to 8 times cable diameter. n Number of cables per strand: Refer to the switchboard implementation guide. n Separating the strands: Check that the power and control strands are separated as well as the strands receiving an auxiliary voltage of more than 500V AC-DC. n Wiring trunking: Ensure that the reserve in the trunkings is approximately 20% and that their fasteners are made of insulating accessories (e.g. polycarbonate screws). n The maximum centre distance between two trunking fasteners must not exceed 600mm.

n No cables must be inserted between the power bars. n Cable fixing: Use the technical guide to ensure that the number of cable tie-bars, the quality of fastening according to lsc and the type of binding used are correct.
7.1.8. Connections n Three types of inspection are performed according to the connections : o Visual inspection (A) : – Of the crimping recess (quality, pressure, etc.), – Of proper cable insertion, – Of the position of the conductor core in the lug shaft, – Of cable cross-section compared with lug cross-section. o Mechanical inspection (B) by manual traction (performed by random sampling). o Visual inspection (C) of presence and direction of contact washers (flat washers + “contact” washers on flexible busbars and oblong holes), and presence of varnish certifying tightening to the right torque (on visible connections). In event of doubt (number of threads protruding from the nut, for connections of the same type, differs on screws of the same length, contact washers excessively crushed or moving), carry out a sampling check. If a number of faults are detected, ask the person responsible for assembling it to repair the LV switchboard.

7.3. Electrical checks
7.3.1. Operating tests n Checking the power circuits: o Check preparation: – Supply the busbar with the control desk, ensuring that phase rotation direction is respected. – Also connect the neutral and the earth. – Before energising, open the auxiliary circuit protection circuit-breakers (relays, measuring instruments, coils, etc.). o Carrying out the operations: Check the order of the phases using the tester built into the control desk. Testing is always performed downstream of the circuit-breakers in order to check its poles at the same time. However a different method or device can be used. – Open all the circuit-breakers. – Test the busbar conductors by applying the pin tip on them (N, L1, L2, L3) and check correspondence of their marking. – Check the correspondence of the phases at each circuit-breaker by closing them one by one from line side to load side (see example below). o Example :
When the incomer of some circuit-breakers is connected to the terminals, perform the tests on the terminals. n Checking the control circuits: Check the power supply of the auxiliary circuits by examining phase order at their associated protection circuit-breakers. n Remote / local operating mechanisms: Check their operation. If necessary use accessories (pin tip, small box equipped with pushbuttons, indicator lights, etc.). n Supply circuits: Systematically check the electronic switchgear supply circuits and the DC circuits using a tester (voltmeter).

GIQ2 / ESB / 11.1998 26
n Voltage relays, time delay relays, fault tracking devices: o For the voltage relays, check that the contacts are in the status defined in the project design file. o For the time delay relays, check correct operation of the time delays. o For the fault tracking devices, create a fault and check that the device detects and indicates its presence. In order to create a fault, a resistance box can be supplied as shown below: Pre-set the value of the resistance required to create a fault according to toroid characteristics. Make the resistance vary by reducing its value. When you fall below the pre-set value, the device must indicate the fault. n Time delay settings: Check that these settings comply with the project design file.
7.3.2. Dielectric withstand (Standard IEC 439.1 paragraph 8.3.2)
n Preparation : o The dielectric test is always performed before the insulation test. o Do not forget to remove the covers from the Vigi modules of the Compact NS.

o Before performing the test, make sure that you disconnect: – the surge absorbers (if any), – the electrical control motors, – the Vigilohm, – and any other device not withstanding the applied voltage (electronic switchgear, contactor coils, indicator lights, miniature relays, horn, measuring instruments, etc.). To do this open the circuit-breaker(s) supplying the auxiliary circuits. o The interference suppression capacitors installed between the live parts and the frames must not be disconnected, but be able to withstand the test voltage. o There are no tests to perform on an auxiliary circuit not connected to the main busbar if it: – is protected by a device of rating < 16 A, – has undergone the operating tests. o NB: Check, for certain auxiliaries, that no unprotected connections are left. Otherwise, disconnect these connections. For example: remove the neutral connection wire for the PIM. n Operating mode: o Perform this test using a dielectrometer (or dielectrimeter) designed to deliver a variable voltage 0-5000V AC. o Apply voltage in turn on each phase and on the other phases which are inter-connected and brought back to the switchboard frame. o The standard stipulates that this voltage must be maintained for one second. However, it is customary to maintain it for one minute. o Record the test result. Voltage to be applied:
Ui Test U 690V 2500V 1000V 3500V Ui < 60V 500V Ui > 60V (2Ui + 1000)V
with 1500V min. Ui = Switchboard rated insulation voltage o NB: If, for any reason, the dielectric test must be repeated with, it will be done with voltage lowered to 85% of the previous value. n Carrying out the operations: Example of the neutral test for a 4P equipment: o Close all the circuit-breakers, o Connect the phases to one another and to the switchboard frame,
E21261
Quality inspection: instructions
GIQ2 / ESB / 11.1998 28
o Interconnect all the switchboard frames and earth them, o Connect the measuring instrument earthing wire to the switchboard frame, o Place the pin tip in contact with the circuit to be monitored and gradually increase voltage up to the required value, o Maintain this voltage for one minute, o Gradually reduce voltage before disconnecting, o Record the result and note it on the measuring sheet, o Once this check is complete, repeat it for the other conductors. n Result: The tests are satisfactory if there is no bypass, deterioration of the insulators or perforation.
7.3.3. Insulation resistance n Check preparation: Disconnect: o The circuit-breaker electrical control motors and Vigilohms together with any other device not withstanding the applied voltage. o Some devices, so as not to create connections between the live conductors (such as coils, relays, indicator lights, contactor electromagnets, etc.) and the loads such as measuring instruments. n Operating mode: Using an insulation measuring instrument (megohmmeter), measure insulation at a voltage of 500 V DC. This measurement is taken between each live conductor and the two or three other conductors connected to the switchboard frame. n Carrying out the operations: The procedure is the same as the one used for testing dielectric withstand. n Result: The test is correct if insulation resistance between the circuits and the frame is at least 1000 Ohms/V with respect to the voltage of this circuit (NB: for our LV switchboards, the usual value of this insulation resistance is approximately 1 megohm).

7.3.4. Electrical continuity of the protection circuits (standard IEC 439.1 paragraph 8.3.3)
The inspection is either visual or electrical as required by the customer. n Visual inspection: This inspection is performed by checking the presence of component parts such as picot washers, earthing braids, etc. o For earthing braids, check the presence and direction of the picot washers (see electrical switchboard implementation guide) as well as their withstand by exerting a slight pressure on their connections. n Electrical inspection: NB: There is no device enabling this continuity to be checked. The method given is only for information. o Operating mode: A DC source is used, with an electromotive force of less than 6 V. A 2 A current is injected between the inlet of the earth busbar and the parts to be inspected (doors, front face, frame, etc.).
Measured resistance: R = U / I n Result: The inspection is satisfactory if the measured resistance is less than 0.1 Ohm.

8. Quality indicator chart
8.1. Purpose The purpose of this chart is to measure quality performance and perform the necessary corrective actions to progress.
8.2. Principles The quality assurance manager issues a monthly quality report entitled “Quality indicator chart”. This document is intended for the unit manager, the site department managers and the quality assurance managers of the activity in the division.
8.3. Scope Performance is evaluated in the Groupe Schneider according to the four indicators below: n NQA : purchased non quality. n NQP : produced non quality. n NQS : service non quality. n NQE : customer complaints. n The non quality index: o is an indicator used to measure changes in non quality, o defines the target aims, o reveals the weaknesses of the various operations and allows the relevant action to be taken. n These non quality indices can be calculated using specific formulas that are found in the quality indicator chart form. With respect to quality inspection, the index directly associated with the final inspection is produced non quality.

n Purchased non quality is monitored by means of 3 indicators: o global ratio, o ratio outside the group, o Schneider ratio. n External non quality: Taking customer complaints into account (intermediate or end).
8.4. Produced non quality n This index is calculated during the final inspection by the quality inspector. n It is calculated using this formula: Non quality index = Sum of weighted faults Total nbr of cubicles* n The faults revealed by the quality inspection are assigned according to their origin to production, the project design department or the subcontractors. n The faults are classed in 3 categories: o Critical: A fault which, according to judgement and experience, is likely to result in a lack of safety or risk of accidents for the user. It presents a real danger for persons and equipment. o Major: A fault risking a considerable reduction in switchboard operation. o Minor: A fault corresponding to a nonconformity. n Weighting: The weighting applied to these three types of faults is: o critical fault = 10 o major fault = 3 o minor fault = 1 Produced non quality is monitored by means of indicators for each type of product and a global indicator. * Remarks: Note 1: in the distribution switchboards (PCC), the number of cubicles indicated corresponds to the number of cubicles produced. Note 2: in the motor control panel (MCC), the rules are as follows: – Framework = 0.2 cubicle, – Drawers ²125 A = 0.1 cubicle, – Drawers >125 A = 0.2 cubicle. n Example of a MCC cubicle made up of: 1 framework (1X0.2) = 0.2 2 drawers >125 A (2X0.2) = 0.4 8 drawers ²125 A (8X0.1) = 0.8 Total = 1.4 In the cubicle equivalent = 1.4.

IV - définitions / definitions Nota : la base de temps est le mois. Note : Time base is the month.
IV/1 - non qualité achetée / purchased non quality Nb de réceptions non conformes* X 100 Nb total de réceptions * : détectées en réception ou hors réception. La non qualité achetée est suivie au moyen de 3 indicateurs : - taux global - taux hors groupe - taux =S=.
Nbr of non conform * entering receipts X 100 overall Nbr of entering receipts * : detected during inspection or off inspection time. The purchased « non quality » is followed up by mean of 3 indicators : - overall rate - off-Group rate - =S= rate.
IV/2 - non qualité produite / performed non quality Somme des défauts pondérés Nb total de colonnes** La mesure est faite au cours du contrôle final. Les défauts mis en évidence par l’inspection qualité sont imputables selon leur origine à la production, au BEA, ou aux sous-traitants. Ils sont classés en 3 catégories : - critique : c’est un défaut qui, d’après le jugement et l’expérience, est susceptible de conduire à un manque de sécurité ou à des risques d’accidents par l’utilisateur ; - majeur :c’est un défaut qui, sans être critique, risque de réduire de façon importante, la réalisation d’une fonction du tableau ; - mineur : c’est un défaut qui, sans être majeur, correspond à une non-conformité. La pondération appliquée à ces 3 types de défaut est : critique : 10 majeur : 3 mineur : 1

GIQ2 / ESB / 11.1998 54
La non qualité produite est suivie au moyen d’indicateurs par type de produit et d’un indicateur global. nota 1 : dans le cas des tableaux PRISMA - MB100 - MB200, le nombre de colonnes indiqué correspond au nombre de colonnes produites. nota 2 : dans le cas du MB400, les règles sont les suivantes : - charpente = 0,2 colonne - tiroirs ½ ou 1 module = 0,1 colonne - tiroirs 2, 3 ou 4 modules = 0,2 colonne exemple 1 colonne MB400 composée de : 1 charpente ( 1 x 0.2 ) = 0,2 2 tiroirs de 3 modules ( 2 x 0.2 ) = 0,4 8 tiroirs de 1 module ( 8 x 0.1 ) = 0,8 total = 1,4 équivalent colonne = 1,4
Sum of weighted faults overall Nbr of columns ** This measurement is done during the final inspection. The faults brought to the fore by the quality inspection are chargeable, depending on their origin, to production, to Design office or to subsuppliers. They are filed in 3 categories : - critical : according to the experience, this fault may lead to a lack in sureness or to risks of accident for the user ; - major : without being critical, this fault may lead to an important decreasing in the achivement of a function in the switchboard ; - minor : without being major, this fault corresponds to a non conformity. The applied weighting to those 3 types of faults is the following : critica : 10 major : 3 minor : 1 The performed « non quality » is followed up by mean of indicators for each type of product and of an overall indicator. nota 1 : In the case of Prisma - MB 100 - MB 200 switchboards, the number of indicated columns corresponds to the number of produced columns.

GIQ2 / ESB / 11.1998 55
nota 2 : In the case of MB 400, the rules are the following : - frame = 0,2 column - ½ drawers or 1 module = 0,1 column - 2, 3 drawers or 4 modules = 0,2 column example 1 MB 400 column including : 1 frame (1 x 0,2) = 0,2 2 drawers of 3 modules (2 x0,2) = 0,4 8 drawers of 1 module (8 x 0,1) = 0,8 Total = 1,4 column equivalent = 1,4
IV/3 - non qualité de service / non service quality (ou taux de non service) / (or non service rate) L’indice de non qualité de service est obtenu de la façon suivante : 100 - indice calculé A ou B A - Nb d’affaires ordonnancées*, complètes** à l’heure X 100 Nb total d’affaires ordonnancées B - Nb d’affaires complètes** à l’heure X 100 Nb total d’affaires livrées dans le mois * ordonnancées : la date de référence est la date fixée par le technico-commercial. Cette date peut-être celle de la recette, de la mise à disposition usine, de l’expédition ou du rendu site, selon l’accord passé avec le client. ** complètes : le nombre de colonnes commandées est respecté. Toutes les affaires sont comptabilisées, y compris le matériel séparé (seuls les protos Merlin Gerin peuvent ne pas être pris en compte). En cas d’affaires fractionnées en partiels, le nombre d’affaires comptabilisées correspond au nombre de délais ordonnancés différents. Une affaire dont le délai est renégocié avec le client, suite à un problème interne, est comptée hors délai.

La première façon de procéder mesurera plutot la totale maitrise du planning des affaires. La deuxième façon permet de débuter avec les indices de qualité. Exemple : - 10 affaires prévues dans le mois - 5 complètes à l’heure - 2 livrées dans le mois avec retard La première methode donnera 5/10 soit 100% - 50% = 50% Avec la deuxième methode on aura : 5/7 soit 100% - 71.4% = 28.6%
Non Quality service is calculate as follow : 100 - calculate index A or B A - Nbr of scheduled *, complete**, and in time orders X 100 overall nbr of scheduled orders B - Nbr of complete in time orders X 100___ overall Nbr of orders delivered in the month * scheduled : the reference date is the one set by the Sales Engineer. This date may be the one of the inspection, or the one of the on-site delivery, according to the agreement signed with the customer. ** complete : The number of ordered columns is respected. Every order is registered, including the spare parts (only Merlin Gerin prototypes may not be taken into account). In the case of orders being splitted into partial delivrery, the number of registered orders corresponds to the number of the different scheduled delivery times. Any order which delivery time has been re-negociated with the customer, due to an internal problem, will be scheduled “off-delivery time”. First method gives total view of all business planning. Second method is a good way to begin dealing with quality indexes.

GIQ2 / ESB / 11.1998 57
Example : - 10 scheduled orders in the month - 5 are complete and in due time - 2 are late but delivered in the month First method gives 5/10 also 100% - 50% = 50% Second method gives 5/7 also 100% - 71.4% = 28.6%
IV/4 - non qualité externe / external non quality Nombre de réclamations clients. Sont comptabilisées dans cet indicateur les réclamations d’origine clients finals ou intermédiaires adressées sous forme de lettres, de télex ou de fax, imputables à =S=.
Number of customer’s claims. The following matters are registrered in this indicator : final or intermediary customer’s claims sent by letter, telex or fax, chargeable to =S=.
