Presentation
In SoftExpert Inspection, quality indices play an essential role in evaluating suppliers and classifying receipts. These indicators are used to create a receipt ranking and to measure quality at different stages of the inspection process.
The indexes available in the system are:
- DPIA Index of the qualification stage of receiving;
- InPI Index of the receiving inspection stage;
- OQI object index, independent of the supplier;
- OSQI index of the object linked to a specific supplier;
- SPI: Supplier index, independent of the object.
To enable this detailed evaluation, the system allows you to configure equations that define how each index will be calculated. These settings are organized into three distinct locations, encompassing different perspectives of analysis. This article will explain the general configuration of the quality index, and the specifics of the other indices will be detailed in specific sections.
Include a quality index
1. Access the Settings menu > Receipt Ranking: Quality Index (IP031).
2. Click the button
.
3. On the screen that will open, fill in an identifier and a name.
4. To enable the calculation of the indices, check the Qualification or Inspection section , or keep both checked.
4. Click the button
to save the information.

The sections “Qualification”, “Inspection” and “Object/Object by supplier” shown in the image above will be explained in their respective articles.
Starting with version 2.2.1, the quality index equations now include the Percentage of Nonconformities (PQTNC) index , calculated by the ratio between the number of nonconformities and the total number of receipts in a given period, offering a clear view of the quality of the receipts made.
Update on SoftExpert Inspection index evaluation:
- The IQS index assessment is now performed on SoftExpert Supplier .
- The supplier and system quality levels have been unified under the name "Supplier Quality Level".
- The creation of custom indexes in SoftExpert Inspection has been discontinued; only standard indexes are retained .
- To learn more about the updates to this feature, see the What's New in version 2.2.0 of the Inspection component .
- The SoftExpert Inspection equation editor allows the creation of conditional expressions for the quality index equation, increasing flexibility in defining rules. For more information, see the new features of version 2.2.1 of the component.
Conclusion
After configuring the quality indicators, the system will be ready to calculate the receiving ranking and evaluate suppliers and items , allowing for faster and more standardized analysis. To learn the details of configuring the other indicators, please refer to the articles below:
