What is Incoming / Receiving Inspection?
Incoming or Receiving inspection is a critical phase in manufacturing where materials, parts, or components received from suppliers are thoroughly examined to ensure they meet the specified quality standards and requirements set by the purchasing company. It involves checking the quantity, quality, and condition of incoming goods before they are accepted into the company's inventory or production process.

Create Inspection Plan
Define Inspection Plan based on 3 criteria:
- AQL (Acceptable Quality Limit): Define lot size and sample size for ‘Reduced’, ‘Normal’ and ‘Tighten’ inspections. Set Acceptance Number for Critical / Major / Minor defects.
- Passing %: Define sample size along with passing percentage to define lot result. Ex: Sample Size - 10, Passing % - 80% (8 Parts).
- Characteristic Class: Set % for Critical / Major / Minor checkpoints for lot result. Ex: Critical - 100%, Major - 80%, Minor - 60%.
Add Suppliers, Parts and Checkpoints
Add Suppliers, Parts and Checkpoints

Auto ‘Switching Rules’ as per ISO-2859
Auto ‘Switching Rules’ as per ISO-2859
Ensure supplier quality by applying ‘Switching Rules’ automatically. ‘Sample Size’ automatically detected based on current status of supplier (Normal / Reduced / Tighten).
- Normal to Reduced: 10 consecutive lots accepted.
- Normal to Tighten: 2 of last ‘5’ or fewer lots rejected.
- Tighten to Normal: 5 consecutive lots accepted.
- Reduced to Normal: 1 lot rejected.
- Tighten to Inspection Discontinued: 5 lots rejected.
Perform Inspection on PC / Mobile / Tablet
