(Quality Assurance Solutions: Camarillo, CA) -- Quality Assurance Solutions announces the release of Snap Sampling Plans! software for establishing sampling plans for inspection quality control. Every manufacturing company needs to inspect product to ensure it meets requirements. The inspection stages within a company include receiving, in-process, and final. Snap Sampling Plans! easily creates sampling plans for these inspections.

When inspecting for a given feature, companies rely on sampling inspection instead of 100-percent inspection to reduce costs. From the inspection results, the company decides whether to accept or reject the inspected parts.

Determining the inspection plan is a complicated process. Many questions must be answered prior to selecting the appropriate sampling method. In addition, the person creating the plan must understand statistical sampling. That person must consider the following items because they all affect the inspection plan:

• The manufacturing process

• Location of the inspection

• Acceptance parameters

• Type of defect

• Inspection feature

• Destructive testing

• Inspection cost

• Inspection level
