What is Inspect to Quality (I2Q)?
Inspect-to-Quality (I2Q) addresses the measuring quality along the supply chain.
An inspection encompasses measuring, examining, testing or calibrating and comparing the results with specified requirements. Quality is checked at the supplier, monitoring in production process, or inspecting the final quality of the finished product before it is delivered to the customer and in the context of shelf-life management.
Simply, the inspection should ensure that the greatest possible number of good products leave the gate of the factory. Conducting the quality inspection leads to the identification of the quality issue, its reporting and the elimination.
I2Q domain is structured into the following scenario clusters:
manufacturing quality inspection,
supply inbound quality inspection,
shelf life management,
quality management,
ad-hoc quality inspection, and
supply outbound quality inspection.
