Adaptability of inspection and testing activities in manufacturing systems is of high importance for sustaining quality of products and production processes. However, process models identifying the demand for changing quality testing activities as well as methodologies for systematic adaption of ongoing quality inspection processes are deficient. This is related to the fact that existing inspection planning procedures are primarily related to product and process development stages and not to ongoing series production. Furthermore, knowledge acquired by modifying ongoing quality inspection activities is seldom used systematically to improve inspection planning for future product and process development. This paper presents a holistic approach for inspection planning covering the systematic change and adaption process of inspection activities during manufacturing stage as well as knowledge transfer to future product and process development. By the evaluation of inspection-related change demand, suitable design options for inspection process modification can systematically be derived. Based on the paradigm of engineering change management (ECM), the adaption of quality inspection processes can be planned, assessed and implemented. Finally, knowledge acquired by implementing inspection process modifications is transferred to inspection planning for future product and process development by using concepts of knowledge management.
