Freeze these inputs against the approved bottle, target good output, workshop layout and responsibility boundary. Values that depend on samples or tests must remain project-specific. Bottled Water Line Manufacturing Progress and Inspection Plan - Calculation or decision basis: Use milestones for approved drawings, critical purchased items, fabrication, assembly, controls build, internal checks, FAT material readiness and packing preparation, each with an observable completion basis.
| Decision area | What the RFQ or test should confirm |
|---|---|
| Calculation or decision basis | Use milestones for approved drawings, critical purchased items, fabrication, assembly, controls build, internal checks, FAT material readiness and packing preparation, each with an observable completion basis. |
| Required project inputs | Provide required completion dates, inspection hold points, witness expectations, document priorities, communication route, change-control rules and independent inspection requirements if any. |
| Supplier response | Require a project schedule showing dependencies, current status, forecast dates, risks, recovery action and evidence that demonstrates a milestone is actually complete. |
| Interface and ownership | Clarify whether buyer, supplier or an appointed inspector attends each hold point, who may release the next stage and how late input or material changes affect the plan. |
| Verification method | Review the schedule against physical status, critical-item availability, approved drawings and FAT prerequisites; close discrepancies before treating the line as ready to test or ship. |
| Operating record | Keep dated schedules, inspection reports, project photos where appropriate, purchase-status statements, exceptions, recovery actions, approvals and final milestone records. |
Each item below can change equipment scope, controls, layout, achievable output or acceptance. Ask suppliers to state assumptions instead of silently filling gaps.
