The "Skip-Lot Procedure" is a method of sampling inspection where specific lots of materials or products are skipped based on previous inspection results and supplier reliability. This means that not every single lot is inspected, but only selected lots, while others are skipped.
Typical software functions in the area of "Skip-Lot Procedure":
Lot Selection: Automatic selection of lots for detailed inspection based on predefined criteria such as quality history, supplier reliability, or risk assessment.
Documentation: Recording decision-making processes and results for skipped lots as well as selected ones.
Alerting and Notification: Automated alerts and notifications when a skipped lot is processed further or when a selected lot is chosen for detailed inspection.
Audit Trail: Tracking changes, decisions, and actions related to lot selection and inspection to ensure traceability and compliance.
Reporting and Analysis: Generating reports and analyses on the effectiveness of the skip-lot procedure to identify trends and improvement opportunities.
Integration with Quality Assurance Systems: Linking with other quality assurance systems for seamless integration of inspection results and support for continuous improvement actions.
Examples of "Skip-Lot Procedure":
Regular Skip-Lot: Skipping a lot and not selecting it for detailed inspection based on previous inspection results and supplier reliability.
Increased Skip-Lot: Skipping an increased number of lots when the supplier's quality history has consistently been positive over a longer period.
Reduced Skip-Lot: Skipping fewer lots when processing critical materials or products to ensure higher inspection density.
