Using EIP Data Scenarios
How you define the Quality measurement plans determines how you should define and structure the Quality EIPs. The simpler the plans, the easier to define subgroups using EIPs.
Note: Complex measurement plans are inherently more difficult to integrate, test, and validate. Plans that may be appropriate for manual data entry might be cumbersome or impractical in an EIP configuration.

This diagram illustrates scenario #1 that has a simple measurement plan with two variables type characteristics.

Scenario #2
A measurement plan containing variables type characteristics with one derived characteristic. In this scenario, the area characteristic is derived from the length and width characteristics.

This diagram illustrates scenario #2 that has a measurement plan containing variables type characteristics with one derived characteristic.

Note: You must submit a QS_EIP_SGRP_SUB record for the derived area characteristic, because the system knows nothing about measurement plans. It only knows and understands process streams. For the system to calculate the areas for this session, it must be asked to do so.
Scenario # 3
A measurement plan that contains variables type characteristics with non-uniform subgroup sample sizes.

This diagram illustrates scenario #6 that has a defectives type sample where the subgroup sample size is variable.

Scenario #7
A measurement plan with defectives categorized where the subgroup sample size is fixed at five. A sample might have one or more defects that qualify as making the item defective. In this scenario, there are five items, two of which are defective. In addition to noting the number of defective units, state the reason why they are defective.
Note: The data source determines whether the collection of defects constitutes a defective item.
