Use

This field is used in the following ways:

  • To determine the current inspection stage at sample determination
  • When the quality level is updated

The system first checks the number of skips and then the skip duration.

Inspection lot creation

At sample determination for a lot, if the number of allowed skips has not yet been reached, but the maximum skip duration has been reached or exceeded, the next stage in the sequence for accepted lots is taken as the current stage for the inspection lot. If this stage is another skip, then the next stage in the sequence for a rejected lot is taken as the current inspection stage. This means that the current inspection lot is due for inspection as a result of the maximum skip duration, although the quality level contains a skip as the next inspection stage.

Update of the quality level

The quality level is updated either at lot creation or when the usage decision is made. The update occurs independently of sample determination for an inspection lot (even if dynamic modification takes place at lot creation) and always occurs after the current inspection stage has been determined for the inspection lot. If the maximum skip duration has been reached or exceeded, when the quality level is updated, the system calculates the next inspection stage for the quality level of an accepted lot based on the same algorithm. This means that the following stage in the sequence for accepted lots is used as the next inspection stage. If this stage is a skip, the following stage in the sequence for a rejected lot is taken as the inspection stage for the quality level. Since this stage usually specifies an inspection, the next inspection lot is to be inspected.

Procedure

You have two options, irrespective of whether dynamic modification occurs at lot creation or when the usage decision is made:

Option 1

If you want to control the stage change at the skip stage, both by the number of skips and by the maximum skip duration and create for both criteria a stage change, define your dynamic modfication rule in the usual way (as described in example 1). Define an additional inspection (provided that dynamic modification takes place at lot creation).

Option 2

If you only want to interrupt the skip stage with a one-time inspection controlled by the maximum skip duration, you can assign an additional skip in the dynamic modification rule. This means that if the lot is accepted, the inspection stage always changes from one skip to another. At each stage change, if the maximum skip duration has been exceeded for an inspection lot, a one-time inspection of this lot takes place.

Examples

Example 1

Dynamic modification rule
Stage 1: Initial inspection stage/Inspect
Accepted (OK) Rejected (Not OK)
Number of inspections: 1 Number of rejections: 1
New inspection stage : 2 New inspection stage: 1

Stage 2: Skip
Accepted (OK) Rejected (Not OK)
Number of skips : 10 Number of rejections: 1
Max. skip duration : 30 days New inspection stages: 1
New inspection stage : 1

Example 2

Dynamic modification rule
Stage 1: Initial inspection stage/Inspect
Accepted (OK) Rejected (Not OK)
Number of inspections: 1 Number of rejections: 1
New inspection stage: 2 New inspection stage : 1

Stage 2: Skip
Accepted (OK) Rejected (Not OK)
Number of skips : 32600 Number of rejections : 1
max. skip duration : 30 Tage New inspection stages : 1
New inspection stages : 3

Stage 3: Skip
Accepted (OK) Rejected (Not OK)
Number of skips : 32600 Number of rejections: 1
max. skip duration : 30 Tage New inspection stage: 1
