The operating question
Independent inspection is only useful when the requirement it checks was approved before production.
What to decide, in order
- Scope The approved requirement, method and sample size govern the check.
- Independence Third-party inspectors can be requested per order.
- Record Reports attach to the same order record as the release decision.
Quick reference
| Decision | What it settles |
|---|---|
| Scope | The approved requirement, method and sample size govern the check. |
| Independence | Third-party inspectors can be requested per order. |
| Record | Reports attach to the same order record as the release decision. |
Where the handoff usually breaks
An inspection report without a prior requirement becomes an opinion instead of a decision.
What good looks like
The release decision cites the requirement, the finding and the inspector.
