Test sheet

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Example of a fault collection card

A check sheet is a simple document that is used to collect data in real time and at the point where the data is generated. The document is typically a blank form that is used for quickly, easily, and efficiently capturing the information desired, either quantitative or qualitative. If the information is quantitative, the test sheet is also known as a tally sheet . The aim is to get an overview of the quality status and to give those responsible the opportunity to make decisions based on facts.

A characteristic feature of Prüfblatts is that data with bullets be included. A typical test sheet is divided into sections that have different meanings. The data can be read by observing the position and number of marks on the sheet. 5 basic types of test sheets:

  • Classification : A characteristic such as a defect or fault must be classified in a category.
  • Location : The location of a feature is indicated on an image of a part or element.
  • Frequency : The presence or absence of a feature or combination of properties is indicated. The number of occurrences of a feature on a part can also be specified.
  • Measurement scale : A measurement scale is divided into intervals, and measurements are indicated by marking the appropriate interval.
  • Tally : Items to be performed for a task are listed so that when each is reached, it is marked as complete.
