About the first inspection before mass production ,and the end inspection after mass production

Question

Hi ,experts :
       There is a scenario about my customer : before mass production they need to do first inspection avoid a lot of defect for the finish goods ; and he also need  doing the end inspection to check whether the mold can be used for next batch or need to do some repair .
     I want to add two operations in the routing ,but it seems unreasonable .
     Can anyone give me some advice  for it ? thanks advance .

Answer 1

Hi Avril Liu,
OPTION - A
I think, you can try the below option which may not be the best solution but looks logical to me -
a) Create to inspection types 8901 (Initial Mold Manual Inspection) and 8902 (Final Mold Manual Inspection) and assign them to inspection lot origin 89. Please note these inspection types are manually created and these are not linked to stock movement.
b) Use the inspection type 8901 to test the initial condition of the process. In case if the UD = R, then use enhancement to create a new 8901 inspection lot by linking the old number in "TEXT" field.
c) If the next inspection UD = R, then repeat the manual inspection lot 8901 inspection lot creation step. If the inspection lot 8901 UD = A, then this process is Good to start he process. So create a follow-up action and send emails to stakeholders.
d) If you are not interested in testing the in-process quality of the produced materials, then you need not need 04 inspection type to be added for GR inspection. If you do test (I think yes, based on your answer...) you can add this inspection type to your material. Then you will be able to Release/Block your produced materials too using UD= A/R  respectively.
e) Once the production process is complete, you can create manual inspection 8902 to test the mold characteristic. If the UD = R, then again execute the enhancement to create a new inspection lot 8902, by adding the previous inspection lot number in TEXT field, and keep repeating this process. If the UD = A, then there is no further need for testing, and follow-up mail can be send to the stakeholders for the completion of the process.
OPTION - B
Else, you may need to use inspection type 14 linked to your equipment doing the production, to test the mold characteristics. This process will be linked to PM-QM module, and you need to map this process too.
1st inspection can be linked to 89 manual inspection to double check the process and the final inspection after entire production can be done through inspection type 14. Checking the produced material quality will again need inspection type 04 activation like normal process.
