Workflow

How to use the AQL lookup

Keep a clear, reviewable path from lot size to the final decision numbers.

Step 1

Enter lot size

Enter the lot quantity and identify its range first.

Step 2

Choose conditions

Choose inspection level and strictness according to your company's adopted standard and internal rules.

Step 3

Lookup the plan

Select AQL and manually find the matching plan in approved standard tables; the workbook does not perform an automatic lookup.

Step 4

Use the decision

Record the verified sample size and acceptance/rejection numbers in the inspection record.

Structure Mapping

From a paper sampling table to a system lookup

Split the paper sampling table into clear inputs, standard data, and decision outputs.

Boundary

Decide what stays in Excel and what moves to a system

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

Excel works well

Frequent sampling lookup

Teams checking sample sizes daily can keep approved reference tables and lookup records together in one Excel workbook.

  • Lot sizes change often
  • Decision numbers need quick confirmation
  • Inspectors share one rule set
Shared rules

Unify lookup rules first

If several plants use the same sampling rules, standardize approved reference tables and manual lookup procedures 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
