7. Guide & Help
1. EnterFill only blue cells in the Inspection Form: material type, lot details, received quantity (Kg), agreed DRC sections, actual sample locations, sample weights, contamination weights and remarks.
2. SamplesRequired sample count calculates automatically from received quantity: 1-3 Tons = 3 samples, 4-7 Tons = 5 samples, 8-10 Tons = 8 samples, above 10 Tons = 10 samples.
3. LocationsSuggested locations are provided automatically for lorry unloading: Front, Middle, End, then random points. You can overwrite in Actual Location if needed.
4. Visual inspectionVisible contamination is evaluated inside Visual Inspection Grade. No separate contamination percentage grade is used for the final receiving grade.
5. Final decisionCup Lump and Coagulum use Visual Inspection 60% and Supplier DRC Evaluation 40%. Other categories use Visual Inspection Grade only: Grade A/B can release on received date, Grade C is rejected.
6. SoakingSoaking is required only for Cup Lump and Coagulum. Other material categories show Soaking Required = NO. For required lots: Grade A = 24 hours, Grade B = 48 hours, Grade C = 72 hours.
7. Tank checksRubber must be fully submerged and water must not be excessively muddy. Any failure holds release until corrected.
8. ReleaseAfter the assigned minimum soaking date, QC or Production Supervisor may release material to production. Early release requires recorded approval and mill-pass/cycle-time support.
9. DRC calculationAfter oven output is available, use the DRC Calculation section to calculate actual DRC, variation and monthly Excel summary from lot-wise records.
10. Customer PO ReviewEnter every customer PO before releasing it to production. Review grade, quantity, specification, packing, delivery, commercial terms and special requirements.
11. PO clarificationIf unclear, select Clarification Required = Yes and record clarification details plus customer confirmation reference. Set Status = Approved only after review is complete.
12. Non-conformingFailed material must be segregated and recorded with action: re-cleaning, extended soaking, downgrading or rejection.
ResponsibilitiesQC Officer conducts inspection and contamination evaluation. Store Keeper records deliveries, lot numbers, unloading and soaking time. Production Supervisor ensures only approved materials enter production.
