"Inspection plans" are detailed plans or programs that specify the procedures and methods for inspecting products, processes, or services. These plans define which inspections are to be performed, when they are to be performed, which inspection methods are to be used, and who is responsible for carrying them out. Inspection plans are designed to ensure that products or processes meet the required quality standards and satisfy customer expectations.
