Inspection plans

An inspection plan says what to check for an item at a point: incoming, in-process at an operation, or final before release. It lists characteristics, the method, the specification limits and the sampling rule. Plans are versioned and attached to the item and to routing operations.

Inspections

An inspection is raised automatically by a goods receipt or a flagged operation. The inspector records measured values or pass and fail per characteristic and dispositions the lot: accept, reject, rework, return to supplier, or use as is with a named approval. The disposition moves stock or releases the operation.

Non-conformance and corrective action

A failed inspection, a customer complaint or a floor observation raises a non-conformance report. It is contained (the lot is held), investigated (root cause with a method such as five whys or fishbone), and closed with a corrective action that has an owner, a due date and a verification step. The CAPA log is what an auditor reads.

Holds and release

A quality hold freezes a lot, a receipt or a work-order operation. Nothing on hold can be issued, shipped or completed. Release requires the inspector’s disposition, and the hold history stays on the record.

Certificates and traceability

Certificates of conformance and material test reports are attached to the supplier lot and travel with it. The traceability view answers both directions: which lots and operations produced this serial, and where every unit of this supplier lot went.

Calibration

Gauges and instruments have calibration intervals. An overdue instrument must be blocked from a new inspection. The rollout rehearsal checks the due-date boundary and the handling of results already recorded with an instrument that later fails calibration. InspectionResults retain the selected instrument and recorded time so the Quality Inspector can identify affected inspections and decide whether they need review.
