ABSTRACT:
In a document creation stage (54), a document is created using a document generator (37) and then inspected, using a document analyzer (38), in an inspection stage (58). The document is created and inspected in accordance with defect types, defect severities and entry, reinspection and exit evaluation criteria data defined through a user interface (32) in an initialization stage (52). The defined data is stored to a definitions data storage (44) and, before the inspection stage (58) using a document analyzer (38), refined to the particular task document in a planning stage (56) using a refiner (36). During a logging stage (60), defect items are compiled and tallied to an inspection data storage (46) and used, in an inspection data analyzer (40), to make reinspection recommendations and, during a causal analysis stage (62), to generate recommended changes to the inspection processes. Documents are reworked in a rework stage (70) and final tallies are generated. Documents that do not pass a reinspection evaluation in a reinspection stage (64) then repeat the inspection process. The final inspection data and tallies are reported to the user using report generator (42) and stored to the inspection data storage (46) for trend analysis and statistical process control of the document inspection and creation processes.
