Does anyone have an SOP or procedure for auditing a finished lot for defects?

More information is required.

A finished lot of what?

Are there specifications? Customer requirements?

I was looking for a guideline for an SOP on random sampling of a finished lot of product (any food)- looking for a quality defect. 

If you suspect a quality defect - or just want to verify that the specification was met during production. 

Is there a specific sampling plan that is recommended?  I have always heard "square root + 1" but this seems a bit excessive (example: we have 3686 units in a batch - that would be 62 units to inspect).

We are under the cannery regulations and from time to time the inspector wants to verify a specific quality attribute.  I need to put together an SOP so that we inspect consistently - and it does not get out of hand.  I was hoping to have this inspection done by my team in a controlled fashion - and have the inspector accept the records of the inspection in lieu.

I was looking for sampling standards - if there are any that exist in this situation.

 

Thanks for your help :biggrin:

Hi Mazie,

 

Square rooots and the like are semi-scientifically based.

 

Tthe options typically relate to yr acceptable limits, yr desired accuracy, the variation of the attribute within the lot, whether destructive or non-destructive sampling is involved, cost of analysis, etc, etc.

 

As mgourley stated, it all depends on the details.

 

In principle,there are (at least) 2 basic approaches to yr attribute query. As a starter, could have a look at this post and the surrounding thread  -

Hi Mazie,

 

just as addendum to previous, these 3 threads are primarily non-AQL oriented -

HI,

 

I have used mil inspections in the past for this type of inspection.  Interactive sampling plans can be found at www.sqconline.com.  Hope this helps.

Lynne

Just google "mil std 105d"

 

This standard is no longer supported by the US Army, but the tables are still valid and replicated in ANSI/ASQ Z1.4: Sampling procedures and Tables for Attribute Sampling..  Unfortunately $159, though

 

 

 

 As a free example you will find in google ...
