HIPP INSPECTION PLANNING AND PLANS

INSPECTION PLANNING

• The process of indicating what dimensional
  information is required to monitor a part or
  processs quality performance.
• Inspection planning performs an important
  function in the gap between design and
  inspection.
• The Inspection Plan is obviously an important
  link between the two.

What is an Inspection Plan?

• A Description of What
• Listing of features required for inspection.
• Datum information required to measure these
  features correctly.
• GDT and Tolerance information required to
  accurately analyze the features.
• Not device specific

What is the level of detail ?

• In general, the Plan should have only as much
  detail as is necessary to describe the
  dimensional requirements.
• Less is More!

6
What is the level of detail?

• Many times the individuals defining the
  inspection needs of the part is not necessarily
  familiar with the measurement device to be used.
  
• This should be the baseline assumption.

7
What is the value as it relates to
interoperability?

• We have seen many customers solving their own
  Inspection Planning problems, each in their own
  proprietary way.
• This has demanded adaptation to many incoming
  data formats and differing of contents of
  inspection plans.
• Very costly.

8
What is the value as it relates to
interoperability?

• Interoperability would be served by allowing a
  plan to be delivered to any vendor in a STANDARD
  FORMAT for metrology applications.
• Save time and money for both end users and
  vendors of metrology equipment and software.
