Creating a Random or Rework Inspection

Users with the appropriate rights can create Random or Rework inspections.

• Random - Random inspections are inspections that can be conducted at any time and are not specific to the incoming inspection process.
• Rework - Rework inspections are inspections that are conducted as a result of a nonconforming part. If a manufacturer has the ability to rework a part without sending it back to the supplier, then they can use the Rework inspection type.
