Inspection Record Completeness at 65% inspection station uptime: a worked example

Suppose inspection station uptime falls to 65%. This page works the full calculation at that level so you can see exactly which result moves and by how much. Estimate inspection record completeness for qms, capa and quality system management using production-ready inputs so teams can confirm whether capacity can cover demand before committing the schedule.

The inputs for this scenario

  • Inspection records completed per audit cycle: 4 units / cycle (held at the documented default)
  • Available audit cycles in the period: 480 cycles (held at the documented default)
  • Inspection station uptime (records reachable): 65 % (the input this scenario stresses; the baseline uses 90)
  • First-pass record accuracy (no missing fields): 97 % (held at the documented default)

Working through the calculation

  • The calculation starts from the formula this tool documents: Gross inspection record completeness capacity = inspection record completeness output per cycle × available inspection record completeness cycles.
  • Good inspection record completeness capacity works out to 1,211 units at these inputs, and this is the headline figure for the scenario.
  • Gross inspection record completeness capacity works out to 1,920 units at these inputs.
  • Inspection record completeness downtime loss works out to 672 units at these inputs.
  • Inspection record completeness yield loss works out to 37.44 units at these inputs.

How this compares with the baseline

  • Against the tool's baseline example, where inspection station uptime sits at 90% and the headline result is 1,676 units, this scenario comes in 27.78% below the baseline at 1,211 units.
  • It computes the number of complete, defect-free inspection records produced from records-per-cycle, available cycles, station uptime and first-pass documentation accuracy. When the numbers land here, the stressed input is the lever to work; the walkthrough above shows exactly how much each output recovers as it climbs back toward the baseline.

Results at a glance

  • Good inspection record completeness capacity: 1,211 units (headline result)
  • Gross inspection record completeness capacity: 1,920 units
  • Inspection record completeness downtime loss: 672 units
  • Inspection record completeness yield loss: 37.44 units
