Introduction to E&I Plan

The Evaluation and Inspection (E&I) Plan is a core component of the Unit Maintenance Standardization & Evaluation Program (MSEP). As mandated by DAFI 21-101 Chapter 6, Quality Assurance (QA) is responsible for creating this plan, outlining the number of approved areas and types of inspections to be completed within a specific timeframe.

The EQuAD system facilitates this process, offering monthly or quarterly planning periods at the wing level. For guidance on selecting the appropriate E&I Plan period, always consult your MAJCOM. The E&I Plan itself is developed from the "Master RIL" provided by your MAJCOM, supplemented by local requirements ("Local RIL") specific to your wing.

EQuAD Functionality and Access​

EQuAD provides robust features for E&I Planning, including plan creation, supervisory review and coordination, and final approval by the MXG commander. While access to the E&I Plan is restricted to QA Superintendent and QA Chief Inspector Roles, other personnel involved in the review and approval process will have read-only access.

E&I Plan Development Stages​

The E&I Plan development process involves several key stages:

  • Plan creation
  • Mapping inspections to specific work centers
  • Assigning an inspection type and month to each inspection item
  • Generating the plan for the required month or quarter
  • E&I Plan coordination (review process)
  • E&I Plan approval by the MXG

Once the E&I Plan receives approval for the designated period, it becomes accessible to QA inspectors for execution.
