Incoming against the GRN, in-process, final and pre-dispatch — every inspection reads the specification master, records readings against the limits, and dispositions the lot Accepted (AC), Rejected (RJ) or Accepted-Under-Deviation (AD). A rejection raises the NCR. And because the readings and the limits are already captured, Cp/Cpk and control charts fall out of the same data — SPC as a by-product of daily inspection, not a separate exercise.
Every inspection reads the spec, records readings against the limits and dispositions the lot; SPC is computed off the same limits. For the bigger picture, read what is quality management software?
Quality happens at four points, and Fast Quality runs them all off one engine. Incoming inspection checks received material against the GRN; in-process and line inspection attach to the work order and operation; final inspection verifies finished goods; and pre-dispatch inspection is the last check before a shipment leaves. Each stage reads the same specification master to know what to check, so a characteristic means the same thing whether it is measured on a supplier's bar stock or on a packed pallet. One place for the data, four gates where it is captured.
An inspection records the actual reading and compares it to the tolerance — nominal, USL and LSL — from the spec. The lot is then dispositioned: Accepted (AC) when it conforms and stock is released; Rejected (RJ) when it does not, which raises the NCR; or Accepted-Under-Deviation (AD) when it is non-conforming but accepted through an approved, time- or quantity-bound concession. For incoming inspection against the GRN, the accepted and rejected quantities move real stock, so a rejected lot never silently enters usable inventory.
The inspector opens a dashboard of the work that is theirs: pending inspections, allocated lots and the day's dispositions, so nothing sits un-inspected and no lot is forgotten. The same records roll up into the inspection MIS — acceptance and rejection rates by item, supplier and period — the management view a quality head reads for review. Because the inspector's entry on the floor is the manager's number in the MIS, there is no re-keying and no reconciliation between what was done and what is reported.
Statistical process control uses the very specification limits inspection already records readings against. So Cp and Cpk and the control charts are computed off the same nominal, USL and LSL from the spec — capability is a by-product of the inspection you already do, not a second data-entry exercise in a separate tool. Initial process studies for a new part are a PPAP element; ongoing SPC watches the characteristics the control plan flagged as special, and a rejection raises the NCR that starts the corrective-action loop.

Most inspection data dies at the desk — recorded, but never turned into disposition, an NCR or capability. Here is what changes.
Fast Quality covers the full inspection cycle: incoming inspection against the GRN, in-process inspection during production, final inspection of finished goods, and pre-dispatch inspection before shipment. Every stage reads the specification master to know what to check, records readings against the tolerance limits, and dispositions the lot. Incoming inspection ties to the store receipt so accepted and rejected quantities move real stock, and in-process and line inspection attach to the work order and operation.
They are the three dispositions of an inspected lot. AC is Accepted — the lot conforms and is released. RJ is Rejected — the lot is non-conforming, which raises the NCR (a material rejection for incoming, a line rejection for process). AD is Accepted-Under-Deviation — the lot does not fully conform but is accepted through an approved concession or deviation, bounded by time or quantity. The disposition is what decides whether stock is released, quarantined or sent back.
Incoming inspection is performed against the goods receipt note (GRN). Inspection-against-receipt pulls the received quantity straight from the store receipt, so results are booked against the real GRN line and the accepted and rejected quantities drive stock disposition. A rejected quantity does not silently enter usable stock — it raises a material rejection against the supplier and the defect code, which can then be claimed or escalated. This is the tie to production and inventory.
Statistical Process Control is driven off the same specification limits — nominal, USL and LSL — that inspection records its variable readings against. Because the readings and the limits are already captured at inspection, capability indices such as Cp and Cpk and the control charts are computed as a by-product of daily inspection, not a separate data-entry exercise. Initial process studies are a PPAP element; ongoing SPC monitors the characteristics the control plan flags as special.
A Rejected (RJ) disposition raises the NCR — a material rejection for incoming or supplier material, a line rejection for in-process or line material — tagged with the defect code and, for incoming, the supplier. A significant or recurring rejection can be escalated into an 8D corrective-action report, and rejection analytics build the defect Pareto by defect, process and part. So a rejection is never a dead end: it starts a traceable non-conformance and corrective-action loop.
The inspector dashboard is the inspector's work list — pending inspections, allocated lots and the day's dispositions. The inspection MIS is the management view — acceptance and rejection rates by item, supplier and period, plus the reports a quality manager needs for review. Both read the same inspection records, so what the inspector enters on the floor is what the manager sees in the MIS, with no re-keying.
