Record and review production evidence

Attach a fact to the correct unit and revision, then obtain the required independent review.

Review edition · 25 October 2026 · For Operator, Supervisor

On this page

Production evidence describes what happened to an identified unit. A report, its independent review and a later withdrawal are separate records. Use the evidence type actually offered for the selected work.

Select and report

In the order or Workstation, find Production and prerequisite evidence. Select Unit for the report and confirm its manufacturing revision. Use Record manual evidence to enter the supported fact, result, observation time and requested reference or detail.

Describe only what you observed or what the stated evidence establishes. A prerequisite check recorded as passed must have its actual supporting basis; a scan alone does not perform an inspection.

Read the action result and keep the report reference. Ask a different Supervisor to review it where required.

Review independently

The reviewing Supervisor checks the unit/revision, type, result, evidence reference and current validity. The implementation refuses a person's review of their own evidence. Review must not be used to conceal a failed or unresolved result.

If approved evidence later becomes unreliable, use Record why this fact is no longer reliable with a concrete reason. That change can invalidate prepared work and require further review.

The Inspection and kit evidence links workspace allows a Supervisor to prepare the complete supported set of exact unit links. Read its displayed remaining-unit scope and requirements. Fill the requested CheckStation and KitProof references for every relevant unit, confirm the mapping and save it.

A different permitted reviewer then checks the retained mapping and source evidence. A link to another product is not itself an inspection pass or kit verification; the source record and current review still matter.

Respect scope and currency

Do not substitute an order/lot reference for a required individual unit or evidence identity. If a source record is unavailable, changed, failed or withdrawn, stop and investigate the stated requirement.

Despatch checks the required current evidence. Read despatch rather than assuming that the presence of any report unlocks it.
