Hi all,

We are looking at the best way of organizing some of our production documentation and I was wondering what other people have done.

In particular we are documenting the steps for inspecting incoming goods from our suppliers and sub contractors. These vary from part to part.

One option was to have a Work Instruction for each part which includes ordering through to inspection.

Another was to have a Work Instruction for "Inspection" which contained separate pages for each part.

A third option was to have a simple inspection checklist for each part without the formality of a Work Instruction.

Does anybody have any tips or suggestions on selecting a format?

thanks
Simon

I like to keep it simple - when I can - so I would go with an inspection checklist with an introduction stating how to perform the inspection. It can eliminate errors :)
