Abstract

A quality assurance system (QAS) is designed and used to inspect product quality, determine causes of abnormal by collecting, analyzing and testing data from the product line, and then determining how an improvement plan should be conducted. By utilizing radio frequency identification (RFID), a QAS may be able to detect, and even prevent, quality problems more effectively than the traditional quality assurance system. The proposed framework provides a structure for an RFID-based QAS that allows on-site staff to monitor complicated variations in production process by handling numerous possible abnormalities simultaneously. Two industry applications are provided to demonstrate using of the proposed framework.
