The following terms will help you become familiar with the inspection module's unique attributes:

Term

Definition

Finding

Defines observations or measurements that you can only report qualitatively

Example: It is difficult to gauge water color (clear, hazy, swampy). In this situation, set up finding codes for clear, hazy, and swampy.

Inspection Aspect

The item(s) measured during an inspection. An inspection point can have multiple inspection aspects.

Example: To check the oil aspect, measure the available oil against the dipstick. Another example is wall thickness.

Inspection Method

The detailed description of how to carry out the inspection

Example: The inspection method for checking tire tread is simple: insert the tire gauge between the tire treads and note the amount of tread on the tire.

Inspection Point

The physical location on the piece of equipment to inspect.

Example: Examine the tires on a van every three months for tread wear. The inspec- tion points are the front left tire, the front right tire, the rear left tire, and the rear right tire.

Also, define inspection points at the category level so that the points apply to all equipment within the specified category.

Example: Define inspection points for all vans rather than for a specific van.

Inspection Point Type

Groups of similar inspection points

Example: Inspection point types for a vehicle are tires, brakes, headlights, etc. For a pipe, the point type could be a tee or weld.

Inspection Value

Quantitative measurements

Result

Indicates the validity of an inspection reading or result

Example: When a finding is "Valid," include the value in system calculations. When a finding is "Invalid," do not include the value in calculations. When a finding indi- cates discontinuity, take a new reading.
