UVES-fiber is part of the FLAMES instrument mounted on the 8.2m Kueyen Telescope (UT2) of the ESO VLT. Up to eight single object fibers can be linked from the FLAMES focus to the red arm of the echelle spectrograph UVES. Science and calibration data are pipeline-processed by the Data Flow Operations group of ESO. Parameters to monitor the performance of the instrument are routinely extracted from calibration frames, stored into a database, and monitored over time. In addition to the Quality Control parameters already present for UVES in slit mode, several specific procedures had to be added in order to monitor the performance in the multi-object case. Particular attention is required for the positioning of the fibers on the detector and the transmission of the fibers. In this paper, we present details of the Quality Control process for UVES-fiber and results from the first year of operations.
