Let Quality Reviewer authorize eligible output, receive finished goods once and complete only the covered work scope.
Quality Reviewer opens the Pending batch and checks its lot, work order and production date. Read the production intervals and the agreed inspection evidence. Relevant Andon events may help explain an interruption that affected output.
Quality Reviewer approves eligible accepted output for release. Keep output requiring a Held or Rejected disposition under the agreed quality procedure. A production target or approaching customer date must not replace the acceptance decision.
The release action validates the batch's release state and unreceived accepted output. Successful release changes the accepted batch from Pending to Released and receives finished goods exactly once. Inspect the intended lot balance after the action returns.
Production Planner compares the work order with its production and accepted batches. The work order completes when the full scope has been covered. Partial work remains open for the next operating decision rather than closing solely because one batch was released.
Production Planner reviews the completed job with the people responsible for the next stock or customer step. Customer fulfillment and any external accounting handoff follow their own procedures and should refer to the accepted output that actually exists.
