Record disposition
This stage contributes to the outcome: Decide where inspection, sampling, and verification belong in the manufacturing route.
Why this connection matters: Quality controls should be placed where evidence can be collected reliably.
Step-by-step in Forge
Navigation: Manufacturing → Quality → Quality Settings or Quality Inspections
- Open Quality: Open Quality and select Quality Settings or Quality Inspections.
- Create the control: Select the create action and enter the inspection or sampling name and criteria.
- Select the scope: Choose the Product, Station, Routing operation, or other supported trigger.
- Define outcomes: Configure pass, fail, escalation, hold, defect, or sampling behavior.
- Save and test: Save the control and run a small unit through the operation to confirm it appears.

Rules to remember
- Quality controls should be placed where evidence can be collected reliably.
- Sampling reduces inspection volume but does not remove traceability.
- A failed result needs a configured disposition path.
Ready when
- Inspection criteria are measurable.
- Triggers and sample sizes are understood.
- Failure outcomes are configured before production.
