How characteristics work

 

Introduction

Characteristics are generic resources used to describe objects in the system, on the basis of their properties. 

They can be classified into two main types: attribute characteristics and variable characteristics.

Attribute characteristics represent properties that cannot be measured. In this case, it is possible to identify only information related to defects and their causes for the described object.

Variable characteristics, in their turn, represent properties that can be measured and have numeric values, which allows for quantitative analyses. For this type, specific details must be provided, such as measurement unit, nominal value, number of decimal places, limits, and tolerances (upper and lower).
