How the model is organised

Inspection work

Inspections connect to inspection checks, first article checks and Nonconformances.

Audit work

Audits connect to audit findings and their owners.

Document work

Controlled documents connect to training acknowledgments and the acknowledging Person.

Trace work

Material trace links retain certificate attachments and a verifying person.

Keys and references

Each record has its own Id or identifying field. Inspection checks.Inspection, first article checks.operational record and Nonconformances.Inspection point to Inspections. Corrective actions.Nonconformance points to Nonconformances. Audit findings.Audit points to Audits. Training acknowledgments.Document points to controlled documents. People.User points to Users. Preserve these references during import so a result still leads to its source case.

Migration order

  1. People and users. Establish the people who own, inspect and approve work.
  2. Core cases. Load controlled documents, Audits and Inspections with their identities and dates.
  3. Linked evidence. Load inspection checks, first article checks, audit findings, material trace links and training acknowledgments against the correct parents.
  4. Quality follow-up. Load Nonconformances and then corrective actions, retaining their inspection and parent links.
  5. Reconcile. Open representative cases and compare their linked evidence with the original record set.
