Where is the incoming inspection for that delivery?

Coming up: the check at the moment itself
Today

Checks are on paper and in folders.

More explanation

The incoming inspection on a form, the final check on a production sheet, certificates in a mailbox. Everything only gets pulled together when someone asks for it.

What is ready?
The impact

The auditor asks, you go searching.

More explanation

A forgotten check only surfaces on audit day. By then it is no longer a point for improvement, and it is too late to correct.

The check happens at goods-in itself.
The solution

The check happens at goods-in itself.

More explanation

Whoever receives the goods answers the quality questions on the goods-in screen, together with batch and best-before date. The answers are stored with the receipt straight away.

When production is closed, the final check follows.
How it works

When production is closed, the final check follows.

More explanation

The questions come from the inspection plan of the item group. The answers are then stored with the production order, together with the production run and its batch.

The checks are included in the traceability report.
The result

The checks are included in the traceability report.

More explanation

For each point in the chain you see which check took place, with any deviations. You show what was recorded, instead of reconstructing it afterwards.

The evidence is already there, before the auditor even asks for it.

Do you recognise this in your audit preparation?
