01 / PLAN

Define evidence before production.

The specification is reviewed for mandatory tests, witness and hold points, inspection agency involvement, certification type and document format. These requirements are incorporated into supplier communication and schedule control.

02 / VERIFY

Coordinate inspection around the approved route.

Inspection activities may include document review, visual and dimensional checks, witness testing, marking verification, PMI, NDT review and packing inspection, depending on the product and project.

03 / RELEASE

Reconcile the physical package with its records.

Release status should connect the item, heat number, inspection result, material certificate, packing list and document index. Outstanding documentation is made visible before dispatch.
