| # Algorithm - Variables (qmptc0122m000) Use this session to assign variables to characteristics so that these variables can be used in algorithm's expression. Related topics Algorithms in quality management Syntax for expressions Algorithm An expression that is used to compute a characteristic by means of other variables or fixed characteristics. Variable A code that holds the value of a aspect or characteristic. This value will be used in the expression of an algorithm to calculate the value of another aspect or characteristic. Aspect A part of an item. For example, a bolt can have the aspects head and tail. An aspect can have one or more characteristics. For example, a head can have a diameter and a length, and a tail can have a diameter and a color. Characteristic A reference to a particular quality or distinctive mark of an item or an item part/component. For example, diameter, length, weight. |
