105 AEROPHOTOGRAMMETRIC IMAGES IN A QUALITY REGIMEN Lorenzo Leone, Giuseppe Mussumeci, Giuseppe Pulvirenti Faculty of Engineering, Catania, Italia ISPRS WG VI/3 KEY WORDS: Quality, aerophotogrammetry ABSTRACT The ISO 9000 rules, which have introduced the “Quality System” for the production of goods and services, have been taken up by the more industrialised countries with the objective of assuring the level of necessary prerequisites through control procedures and eventual corrective action during the work cycle. In the field of numeric cartography, the approach according to standards of quality includes all the stages: design and drawing up of specifications, flight, photogrammetric imaging, acquisition of the photographs, positioning, contouring, printing and final inspection. Applying a series of programmed “on line” checks to the production cycle, according to the fundamental principles introduced by the Quality rules, assures the achievement of the required specifications, while not waiting for the final inspection phase for verification that could come too late. In this paper we review the guidelines of the ISO 9000 publications and we analyse some critical aspects of the production cycle. 1. INTRODUCTION The ISO 9000 legislation that has introduced the “Quality System”, parallel to the extension of the market towards greater and more international dealings, has changed the strategies for production and the development of companies. The creation of a company policy aimed at the production of a “Quality System” requires a new organization of work in the company, which starts at the managerial level and includes all those who take part in the production process. In particular, it is important to guarantee that the product or service that is provided satisfies the needs that are expressed or implied by the client, in order to create trust both inside and outside the company, be it public or private. In the area of numeric map making using aerophotogrammetric pictures, the management of the quality involves all the construction phases: the project, realization, testing. To subject the production cycle of map making to a series of “on-line” programmed checks, according to the fundamental principles of the legislation, assures the fulfillment of the specific requests. This aspect is particularly important for the production cycle under examination, in as much as the traditional methods of testing can lead to a late recognition of errors that cannot be modified and therefore prejudice the correctness of the map. 2. REQUISITES FOR A QUALITY SYSTEM ISO 8402 defines system quality as the organizational structure, the responsibility, the procedures, the processes undertaken for the management of the company for quality. From this definition it is clear that quality is not referred only to products/services, but to the entire management and control of the activities present in the company, by which the production of the product is reached. The legislation of the ISO 9000 family (figurel) give the principle rules both for the definition of a quality system and for its relative application, giving a guide to the management of quality and the general requisites for guaranteeing it. In particular, the ISO 9000-1 is the instrument for the approach to the whole legislative packet, in as much as: • It clarifies the principal concepts connected to quality and the relative distinctions and interrelations; • It gives a guide for the choice and use of the ISO 9000 legislative family for a correct running of the company for quality. In general the creation of a System Quality is a complex process and aimed at the improvement of the level of a product or service, and it develops through the phases of: plan; do, check, and act, following the so called Shewart cycle or Deming’s ring. All this can be translated in the creation of a quality plan, that, in relation to the product/service, establishes the operating methodology, resources and the sequence of activities that influence the quality of the product. In particular the plan defines: • The objectives of quality to carry out; • Distribution of responsibility; • The procedures and the work instructions to apply; • Control methodology. At the same time a “Quality Manual” is created that illustrates the quality program of the company and the criteria to establish it, therefore becoming an instrument of presentation for the company to the outside world.
