Modification of factory quality control system in a factory
The company produces complex electronic circuit boards in small circulations for traffic light installations, fuel supply / injection systems and other purposes. This production process is being supported by a quality control system, which both registers the quality of the used components and the assembly progress, based on measurements. The system was developed in Visual Basic 6.0 by an internal developer who left the company a few years ago. The application in itself still functions properly, but is in need of small modifications to enhance user friendliness and flexibility.
The assignment for my company was to conduct an investigation into the feasibility of a series of proposed modifications. For this purpose, I analysed and documented all source code and proposed and documented detailed source code changes, based on the modifications the customer requested. These proposals have been assembled into a Plan of Action, which can be executed at any time and by any developer skilled on this development platform. The Plan of Action was approved and endorsed by the customer.
