Incoming (receiving) inspection is a process that is linked with:
- Purchasing process
- Quality process
- Control of Nonconforming product process
- Storage process
- etc.
Links are simply connections with other processes. You can have input and output links, support process links, documentation and records links.
The whole process approach, including linkages (connections), and control mechanisms is sadly still poorly understood by internal
and external auditors.
