Methods of QA Surveillance

Various methods exist to monitor performance. The COR may use the surveillance methods listed below.

a. RANDOM SAMPLING.

When actual inspections are to be performed, this is the most appropriate method for frequently recurring tasks. It is also the preferred method for evaluation of contractor quality data and overall “attribute sampling.” In random sampling the inspection results of a sample selected randomly from a lot is statistically the same in the entire lot. Using the lot size and Maximum Error Rate (MER) or Acceptable Quality Level (AQL), the sample size and criteria for determining acceptable performance are determined from an a random sampling system (Indifference Quality Level Sampling and ANSI Z1.4 are acceptable systems). The MER and AQL are complimentary to the Performance Threshold. That is, if the Performance Threshold is 90%, then the MER/AQL is 10%. Next, a random number generator is used to identify the units in the lot to be chosen for the sample (www.randomizer.org is the recommended web site for obtaining random numbers). There can be neither bias nor the possibility of bias in selecting the sample. Each unit in the lot must have an equal chance of being selected as part of the sample. Once the sample has been determined, each unit in it is inspected and determined to be satisfactory or unsatisfactory. If the number of unsatisfactory units observed in the sample is equal to or less than the number permitted by the accept/reject criteria, then the lot is considered to be satisfactory. Otherwise the lot is considered as unsatisfactory and the percentage of the entire lot that is unsatisfactory is statistically the same as the percentage of unsatisfactory work in the sample. The observed defect rate is calculated by dividing the number of observed defects in the sample by the sample size.

b. PERIODIC INSPECTION.

(Evaluate outcomes on a periodic basis. Inspections may be scheduled [Daily, Weekly, Monthly, Quarterly, or annually] or unscheduled, as required.)

c. VALIDATED USER/CUSTOMER COMPLAINTS. (Relies on the customer to identify deficiencies, complaints are then investigated and validated.)

d. 100% INSPECTION.

This surveillance type is preferred for those tasks that occur infrequently, have high visibility, or are critical for mission accomplishment. It is also used frequently for those tasks having very stringent performance requirements. When this type surveillance is used, COR will inspect and evaluate the contractor's performance each time it is performed. This method may, on occasion, be appropriate for some special cuts; otherwise, it will not be used very often.

e. PERIODIC SAMPLING. (Variation of random sampling. However, sample is only taken when a problem/deficiency is suspected. Sample results are applicable only for the specific work inspected. Since sample is not entirely random, it cannot be applied to total activity performance.)
