Quality Inspection Workflow
An incoming and in-process quality inspection flow: sampling, measurement against the spec, and what happens to a batch that fails.
Drawing diagram…
What this diagram shows
- Sampling plan decides how many units are checked
- Failed batches get a non-conformance report (NCR)
- Root-cause analysis feeds back into the process (CAPA)
Prompt used
Quality inspection flowchart: a batch arrives, a sample is drawn per the AQL sampling plan and measured against the specification. If all checks pass the batch is released. If it fails, a non-conformance report is raised and the batch is quarantined; the quality engineer decides to rework, return to supplier or scrap it, and a CAPA root-cause action is opened.
