Quality management: sampling, inspection and release – the same procedure every time

Recurring inspection procedures as templates

Every inspection procedure is set up once as a template – with steps, sequence, owners and expected times. For every batch, every sampling round or every audit a plan of its own is created from it that runs exactly like last time.

• Incoming goods inspection, in-process sampling, final inspection and release
• Product tests and stability tests with fixed test points
• Internal audits and supplier audits with preparation, execution and actions
• Complaints and corrective actions – every step with an owner and a date

Result and finding right on the test step

Whoever tests reports back on the step – at the workstation or by phone on the line: done, with a reading or finding as a comment, optionally with a photo or test report attached. Following steps are released only when their predecessors are done – so the release never comes before the test.

Four-eyes principle and releases

Second check and release are steps of their own, assigned to another person. Anyone who forces a step anyway has to give a reason – it is stored in the history with person and time. Roles and access grants define who may read, report back or plan.

Complements your QMS

CaRD Plan replaces neither LIMS nor CAQ software nor your quality manual: test instructions, characteristics and limits stay there. CaRD Plan steers the execution by many people and delivers the closing report and archive as evidence – plus lead times that show where a procedure gets stuck.
