Strategy inspection

Althou there were substantial incres es in inspections and subsequent enforcement actions in the sector between 2000 and 2002 (516 inspections leading to 3 prosecutions in 2000, increased to 726 inspections d 28 prosecutions in 2001, 435 inspections and 85 prosecutions in 2002 increased to 314 inspections in 2003) it is not possible to determine how many of these made reference to wood-dust exposure or involved OELs in any way. Given the existence of the general inspection strategy described so fer, and the known reluctance of nmny inspectors to engage with technical a ects of the risk evaluation of the use of h ardous substances, it seems likely that very few inspection and enforcement actions will have done tiiis. However, exposure is likely to be quite high in many cases. 

Review tolerancing problems, manufacturing capability, inspection strategies, and testing problems. 

Tolerance verification is all activities by which organizations try to ensure that their product conforms to specifications and meets customer expectations, connected with measurement and testing functions to be provided in the industrial development process of the product. Tolerance verification defines inspection strategy and metrological procedures for functional requirements, functional specifications, and manufacturing specifications. It is very important to consider tolerance verification early in the design activities to be able to assess uncertainties. 

B7.1 SAV Reviews and Inspections Most safety practitioners and systems engineers will be familiar with the basic concept of reviews, and could reasonably infer what these mean for S/W. However, to understand S/W review and inspections role in satisfying S/W assurance objectives and how this relates to safety, it is important to understand the types of reviews and inspections that might be used (to a lesser extent for validation but especially for validation) and the effectiveness of different review and inspection strategies. 

Following the assessment of these submittals. Nil developed an inspection strategy to verify the license applicant s adherence to its proposed process for controlling change. The inspection strategy consisted of six elements ... 

After reflow, the main objective k to identify defects so that repair action can take place. For thk manual vkual inspection, AOI post-reflow, or automated x-ray inspection, can be used. Even with good process control, defect levek are hkely to increase, especially for higher-complexity boards. If defect levek are higher, then a good inspection strategy becomes more valuable. 

Preventive maintenance provides more operational rehabihty however, it also involves higher inspection and maintenance costs, if the inspection strategy is appHed, or higher repair costs if the exchange strategy is applied. Which maintenance strategy will be applied depends on a number of factors, such as Hfespan, personnel structure etc, and will be determined by company management... 

It is also obvious that the maintenance strategy has effects on the invitation to tender for the plant In case of the inspection strategy, additional investments for metrological recording are required. Furthermore, the delivery of spare and wear parts as well as possibly of complete aggregates has to be taken into consideration. 

A second important point is that the maintenance and inspection strategy should differ between distribution and transmission systems to reflect the much higher failure consequences for transmission pipelines compared to those of a typical distribution line. Approaches that may not be economically viable for a distribution system could be employed advantageously in a transmission system to prevent failures. Essentially, the low consequences associated with a single distribution failure also mean that the emphasis in distribution systems should be on failure management in order to minimize life-cycle costs while a more proactive failure prevention approach would be better suited for transmission systems due to the high consequences of associated failures [6].

Selecting and implementing test and inspection strategies requires analysis of several factors. The optimal solution depends on defect levels, board complexity, manufacturing volumes, different test solutions, test effectiveness, and desired quality levels. Itis recommended to have both defect-prevention and defect-containment strategies in place. 

It is worth mentioning that in some cases, it could be relatively difficult to quantify cost factors with confidence. For example, for a fishing vessel, there are several elements that need to be considered when representing downtime as a loss value in monetary terms, such as wages, loss of consumption of perishables, etc. Therefore decisions on the inspection strategy may not be made solely based on C(T). In such cases, D(T) based decision on the inspection strategy may be more reasonable. If uncertainties in both D(T) and C(T) are considered, then decisions on the inspection strategy can be made based on a combination of D(T) and C(T).
