What are Concerns?
Concerns are the things that can go wrong with a part. To prepare for your Inspect launch you need to prepare a standardized list of concerns with which inspectors will record defects. Review the list of concerns with your planning team’s stakeholders to ensure that you have assembled a comprehensive list of concerns. Be sure to remove confusing, ambiguous or duplicate concern names. When making a list of quality concerns it is critical to note that you identify only the concern name. DO NOT include the part name in the concern name.
