What it is planned to cover

  • Independent QC models and when each is proportionate: full independent programming, targeted checks and review-only
  • Validating programs versus validating outputs, and what evidence each leaves
  • Defect classification and root-cause habits that reduce repeat rework
  • The common drivers of rework: late decisions, unclear specifications and unstable inputs
  • Risk-based allocation of QC effort across priority and routine outputs
  • Retaining quality evidence so it is usable in an inspection or a review
