    specification machines, labor, utilities, and quality assurance variables.

    Attribute tracking and • Define and maintain an unlimited number of qualitative and quantitative attributes at the product
    dynamic formula adjustment and lot levels.
    • Adjust formulas based on predefined ratios and scaling.
