Boundary

What stays in Excel and what moves to a system

Use it as a sampling-plan lookup entry point, then confirm final decisions against the standard version and internal quality rules your company uses.

Excel fit

Frequent sampling lookup

An Excel lookup is faster than a paper table when teams check sample sizes every day.

  • Lot sizes change often
  • Decision numbers need quick confirmation
  • Inspectors share one rule set
Partial automation

Unify lookup rules first

If several plants need the same sampling rules, the template can lock the lookup logic first.

  • Align inspection level
  • Align severity
  • Reduce table lookup errors
Systemization

Connect to inspection flow

If supplier, lot, and report records need to link directly, a web system is a better fit.

  • Multi-plant sharing
  • Automatic inspection tasks
  • Full audit history
