Who records readings, and who judges them?

Stores records the readings; the COO evaluates them. Keeping the two steps apart puts the numbers on record before the judgement.

What happens to a failed reading?

It becomes a non-conformance report, which stays on the record with the inspection it came from.

Can the assistant start an inspection?

Yes. Describe the receipt and the assistant creates the inspection against it, ready for readings.

Can I ask from the floor, with my hands full?

Yes. Press Talk in the assistant and ask which receipts are ready for inspection. You hear a short answer, and the list waits on screen.

The verdict

The COO decides, and the record follows.

The COO evaluates the inspection, partially accepted, 2 of 3, and the failed reading becomes a non-conformance report: a record in its own right, ready for the supplier conversation.
