Quality Control Mangement System For Cement Factory Based On Odoo

Abstract

This thesis presents the design and implementation of LTM (Laboratoire Traitement des Matières), a Laboratory Information Management System (LIMS) developed for the quality control laboratory of the Ain El Kebira Cement Factory in Sétif, Algeria. The objective of the proposed system is to improve laboratory operations by providing an integrated, automated, and traceable solution for managing quality control activities throughout the cement production process. The study began with an analysis of the cement manufacturing process and an evaluation of the existing laboratory management system. The analysis revealed several limitations, including weak sample traceability, limited integration with production activities, lack of automated anomaly detection, and inefficient management of laboratory data. To overcome these limitations, a new version of the LTM system was developed as a custom module within the Odoo 11 ERP platform. The system follows the Model–View–Controller (MVC) architecture and consists of several modules dedicated to sample management, laboratory analysis, quality monitoring, equipment calibration, production batch management, and certificate generation. The implemented solution provides automatic parameter loading, real-time validation against quality specifications, automated anomaly detection and alert generation, equipment calibration tracking, and reporting functionalities. Validation scenarios confirmed the successful implementation of the main functional requirements, including sample processing, specification compliance verification, batch approval workflows, and REST API integration. The developed LTM system improves data reliability, enhances sample traceability, reduces manual intervention, and supports continuous quality control throughout the cement production process.
