Describe the inspection decision.
Define the feature or condition being assessed, the acceptable variation and how the result affects the manufacturing process. Avoid using a general phrase such as “detect defects” without an agreed defect definition.
Plan representative examples.
Agree which parts, process conditions and sources of variation should be included in development and acceptance. Establish how samples are labelled and reviewed, and who resolves disputed examples.
Include uncertainty and exceptions.
Define the response to incomplete images, ambiguous results and unavailable inspection hardware. Discuss false accepts and false rejects separately: they have different operational consequences and should not be hidden in one headline accuracy figure.
Agree the evidence and ownership.
Specify the result fields, images and configuration information required for investigation. Agree an acceptance procedure and responsibility for future changes. Any model, decision rule or performance target must be confirmed for the application.
Bring these decisions into the brief.
- Feature and defect definitions
- Acceptable variation and reference ownership
- Development and acceptance sample scope
- Image acquisition and presentation conditions
- Pass, fail, uncertain and unavailable paths
- Acceptance criteria and review procedure
- Result, image and configuration retention
