Tie each result to identifiable units
In this synthetic case all twenty units in lot L-B are individually checked. Units U01–U16 pass and U17–U20 fail the agreed finish check. The release owner permits only individually passed units. A lot-wide “passed” flag would lose the four failures.
| Subset | Quantity | Inspection | Destination |
|---|---|---|---|
| L-B / U01–U16 | 16 | Finish passed / IN-B1 | Pick bin P-B |
| L-B / U17–U20 | 4 | Finish failed / IN-B2 | Hold bin Q-B |
| Release REL-B | 16 only | Owner signs subset list | No whole-lot release |
Keep the split visible through put-away
- Inspect identified units
- Separate passed and failed subsets
- Authorise passed subset
- Move with original lot and subset references
- Keep failures on disposition queue
If units cannot be physically distinguished after mixing, pause the move and re-establish the subset; do not guess which four failed.
Release REL-B must carry U01–U16, quantity sixteen and the authorised owner. Retain the same parent lot for both locations. A later repair and reinspection of the four held units creates another decision with its own evidence; it does not overwrite IN-B2.
Two failed units later pass a documented reinspection. What quantities are released and still held?
Show the worked answer
Eighteen are released in total and two remain held. Keep the original sixteen-unit release and a separate two-unit reinspection release: 16 + 2 + 2 = 20.
