Abstract
dc:descriptionStarting point of this paper was the insight that inspection planning in its current state does not satisfy today’s needs. The globalization of markets, dynamic sampling of product life cycles and the continuously increasing demands of customers lead to deep changes. Companies react with adaptation of both structural and process organization – processes are being modified, internal structures redefined. The inspection planning was not yet considered except of IT support in some single functions. Steadily increasing product recalls state that products with failures are given into the market – even with security relevant failure. Less visible are the impacts caused by products which lead to lower sales volume or benefits. The causes are one the one hand the costs for amendments, to abolish the failures. On the other hand customers substitute products if the features do not match their needs. In this paper the modular inspection planning was developed, considering globalization of markets, dynamic sampling of product life cycles and the continuously increasing demands of customers: Integrated in the chain of production, strictly orientated to customer needs, based on methods of QM and involving all necessary departments in a company. The concept consists of fife modules planning, development, ramp-up, serial production and application which are positioned along the chain of production. The modules are based on the three dimensions: functions of inspection planning use of QM methods and expertise of departments. The creation and development of the inspection plan is parallel to product development. While the first modules consider customer need when defining the inspection features the following modules integrate the information gained during development and production. Eventually the module application verifies the inspection plan and starts rework if necessary. The internally closed modules are based upon another – the achievment of objectives in ensured by Quality Gates. The maturity of content is assessed from the point of views of internal supplier at the beginning and internal customers at the end of each module. If deviations occur actions are defined and permanently monitored to ensure that the targets will be met.
