  2. Create Rules and Associate to Category

The operator carrying out the audit will have a list of rules that may relate to the defects.

For example, if a jet engine has a cable loom with too few cable ties a rule may state that it should be assigned to a particular re-work centre.

Before a rule is created a category must be created to contain the rules.
