Presentation
The Inspection Index (InPI) is an indicator used to evaluate the performance and quality of receipts during the inspection stage. Through it, the organization can measure results related to the approval or rejection of batches, the handling of non-conformities, and the detail of the inspection performed.
The InPI configuration is based on the creation of customized equations that combine different indices available in the system. This flexibility allows the calculation to be adapted according to the evaluation criteria defined by the organization.
For the system to perform the inspection quality level index assessment, it will be necessary to parameterize the equation that will calculate the index. Below, see how to perform the operation:
Configuring inspection index
1. Access the Settings menu > Receipt Ranking: Quality Index (IP031).
2. Click the button 
.
3. On the screen that will open, fill in an identifier and a name, and save.
4. To enable IQI calculation, select the Inspection option and click the button 
.
5. In the equation editor, in the variables section, the list of indices will be displayed:
Inspection indexes
Indicators related to the inspection result
- QTEA : Quantity of approved receipts.
- QTEAC : Quantity of conditionally approved receipts in the release stage.
- QTER : number of rejected receipts.
- QTE : total quantity of receipts.
Indicators related to non-conformities
- QTNC : quantity of nonconformities.
- FC-NC : criticality factor of nonconformity.
Indicators related to the inspection stage
- CHECK : Score from the evaluation checklist during the inspection phase.
- PPM : result of calculating parts per million of the inspected characteristics.
6. To create an equation, double-click the selected index in the list of variables, and the selected option will appear in the Equation field. To include a constant value, assign a fixed value and click the button 
.
7. In the Equation field , define the expression corresponding to the desired operation and click the button 
.
The SoftExpert Inspection equation editor allows the creation of conditional expressions for the quality index equation, increasing flexibility in defining rules. For more information, see the new features of version 2.2.1 of the component.

Practical example
Calculation of IQI for CA-50 steel bars
Fictional scenario
A supplier delivered 5 batches of CA-50 bars in the month. Results:
- QTEA = 4 (approved) out of a total of 5 batches
- QTNC = 3 non-conformities recorded in the period
- CHECK = 90 points (on a scale of 0 to 100)
Example formula
A simple model of IQ could be:
In this model:
The inspection result accounts for 50%.
Non -conformities account for 30%
The inspection checklist accounts for 20%.
Step-by-step calculation
- Inspection result:
- Non-conformities:
- Checklist:
Result
IQI = 40 + 12 + 18 = 70
Conclusion
The InPI configuration allows you to measure the quality of inspections. The CA-50 bar example shows how different criteria can be combined into a single metric, useful for comparing batches, tracking suppliers, and guiding corrective actions.
