The applicable control procedures for loss of data are: backup and disaster recovery planning and restricting access to cost data. The applicable control procedure for poor performance are improved and timelier reporting.

FIVE SUGGESTIONS Don’t inspect at inspection site but instead at the production area. Use Radio Frequency IDs. Goods that fail inspections should be sent to rework. Check inspection failure reasons to improve on mistakes. Random inspection instead of every product.
