Inspection Evidence Planner

Choose the order decision you need to support, then build a discussion checklist. The planner separates first-piece, lot-acceptance and sustained-process evidence without inventing a sampling plan.

Define the decision

What must the evidence support?

Add order-specific evidence needs

Critical-characteristic dimensional records Material identity or condition documents Heat-treatment or surface-finish records Near-limit decision rule or uncertainty discussion Qualified external calibration or specialist test evidence Revision, lot and record traceability

Discuss Inspection Evidence

LEVEL 1

First-piece verification

Supports an initial part or setup decision at a defined project point.

LEVEL 2

Lot acceptance

Supports disposition of a defined lot under an agreed inspection basis.

LEVEL 3

Sustained process evidence

Uses evidence collected over time under a defined control method.

Plan: first-piece verification

Use the plan to decide whether the initial part and setup support the next authorized step.

Items to agree

This output is a scoping checklist. Engineering and quality owners must agree the characteristic list, method, sampling basis, acceptance rule, report format and approval authority for the order.
