Inspection built around requirements
Identify critical characteristics, measurement methods, inspection points and sample requirements appropriate to the risk. Agree acceptance criteria and the handling of suspect product before inspection begins.
Quality
Make quality decisions traceable.
Quality work connects requirements, measurement, analysis and corrective action. Define what conformity means, examine where variation enters the process and verify that the response addresses the cause.
Know what passed.
Understand what failed.
Analysis that separates causes from symptoms
Compare defect patterns by part, lot, process, supplier or time where records permit. Check measurement consistency and process conditions. Use root-cause tools to test explanations against evidence, not to give an assumption a formal name.
Corrective action and effectiveness
Contain the immediate risk, then assign corrective actions with owners and dates. Verify implementation and review later production evidence against an agreed criterion. Update instructions or controls where the learning should persist.
Evidence through the problemObservation is only
Observation is only
the beginning.
- What is the requirement?
- Agreed criteria and a suitable measurement method.
- What does the evidence show?
- Defect patterns, affected scope and tested causal explanations.
- What changed, and did it work?
- Implemented actions and follow-up verification.
Available evidence to start with
- Specifications and agreed acceptance criteria
- Defect samples, inspection records and affected lots
- Process history and previous corrective actions
Records that support a decision
- Inspection and measurement requirements
- Evidence-based quality analysis
- Corrective-action register and effectiveness review
Quality support can continue for products already in production or on the market. Inspection, corrective action and follow-up are defined around the product and its recurring risks.
