Inspection Plans

An inspection plan contains inspection elements that represent the specific data that you want to collect and report on. It also contains information about when and how often you collect that data.

The following table lists the five types of inspection plans and their use:

Plan Type

Used to Collect Data and Report On

Receiving

Items received at the warehouse

Resource

Equipment or machinery in Shop Floor

Inventory

Items in your inventory

Work in Process

Work order execution

Asset Assets, asset groups; items, and item categories

While creating an inspection plan, you must specify the plan details, specifications, and criteria.

You can specify target values and limits for inspection plan characteristics. If the actual results entered aren't within the limits, a quality issue is created based on the action rule that you’ve defined.
