Abstract

Today, the financial and managerial resources necessary to run different functional areas in a complex business are becoming scarce. It has been evident that it is not always effective to perform key business functions in-house. Thus, companies have resorted to strategic alliances with other companies which have special resources and technical knowledge to perform these functions. With the increasing method of outsourcing the quality of a company's product increasingly depends on that of its suppliers' supplied components. The question now is how to facilitate quality improvement collaboration between these companies and their subcontractors. Outsourcing has increased the importance for a new generation of systems that support internal and external integration.To facilitate the integration some industries pushed for the development of information systems. Accordingly, information technology,(IT) standards have been developed to facilitate the ease of storage, processing, transfer, disp[ay, management, organization, and retrieved of information. This study developed an Extensible Markup Language (XML)standard for control charts to address the perceived need of quality practitioners in sharing SQC data. With an XML standard, the restriction of proprietary format of different software will be eliminated increasing interoperability partner supplier and customer and promote more collaboration. The study started with a survey to companies in the semiconductor industry which uses control extensively. Review of related literature was also done to know the importance of standardization particularly IT standards.The creation of the XML document was based on the XML 1.0 specification in creating an XML application. The created XML document may be included in a Working Draft proposal for a Standard XML application for SQC tools. SQC applications applying the XML standard will break new grounds in exchanging data between suppliers and customers alike. Improved products, process, customer value, and overall company growth is expected now that information can be managed more conveniently and with fewer restrictions. THe XML standard will elevate the communication level between industries and allow more collaboration.
