To provide a method for analyzing quality defects in workpieces, which are vehicle bodies and / or vehicle add-on parts, particularly after and / or during a production process in
process engineering plants, preferably after and / or during a painting process in painting plants, by means of which quality defects can be avoided and / or by means of which the causes of quality defects in the production process can be identified, avoided and / or remedied, it is proposed according to the invention that the method comprises the following: - Creating a workpiece-specific
data set uniquely assigned to a vehicle body and / or a vehicle add-on part at the beginning of a production process, particularly at the beginning of a painting process, and / or creating a workpiece carrier-specific
data set uniquely assigned to a workpiece carrier at the beginning of a production process.especially at the beginning of a painting process; - Supplementing the workpiece-specific
data set while a vehicle body and / or a vehicle add-on part undergoes the production process, especially the painting process, with process data that is particularly relevant to quality; and / or supplementing the workpiece carrier-specific data set while a workpiece carrier undergoes the production process, especially the painting process, with process data that is particularly relevant to quality; - Storing the workpiece-specific data set in a
database; and / or storing the workpiece carrier-specific data set in a
database, wherein the process data that is particularly relevant to quality, by means of which a workpiece-specific data set and / or a workpiece carrier-specific data set is supplemented, includes, in particular, quality-relevant process data.One or more of the following process parameters are used: - Target time overruns in process steps of the production process; - Events occurring during the execution of a process step of the production process; - Body-in-white
quality data of a respective vehicle body and / or a respective vehicle add-on part; - Anomalies and / or deviations in the production process; -
Weather data; - Personal data of persons who were involved in the process step during the execution of a process step of the production process, and wherein the procedure is carried out in a
process engineering plant, in particular in a
paint shop, which comprises several different treatment stations in which one or more process steps of the production process, in particular the painting process, can be carried out.
