E&I Plan Review and Approval
Once the Evaluation and Inspection (E&I) Plan is created, each responsible supervisor must review and acknowledge it. The review follows a hierarchical sequence: starting at the work center, proceeding to the squadron, and culminating in MXG approval. EQuAD establishes this review sequence based on the "parent" work center assigned to each shop in the Shops configuration. To ensure timely completion, if a supervisor cannot acknowledge their portion, the "parent" work center can acknowledge on their behalf.
1.- Navigate to the main E&I Plan screen. For the E&I Plan you want to review, choose the relevant period from the contextual menu.
Alternatively, you may select the Go to intervals menu option that will redirect you to the plan's interval screen. Each interval for the plan (monthly or quarterly) will be listed. From there, select the Review Plan option on the contextual menu of the selected interval.
2.- Supervisors with EQuAD Roles will see different review screen options. Supervisors will find an Acknowledge button for each work center under their responsibility, along with a comment field for providing feedback to QA and other supervisors. After reviewing the plan, click Acknowledge. The indicator will turn green, and the plan will advance to the next supervisor.
The MXG can only approve the plan after all supervisors have acknowledged it.
3.- After all supervisors have acknowledged the plan, the Chief Inspector can send it to the MXG for final approval using the Send For Final Approval button.
4.- The final step involves the MXG approving the plan by clicking the Approve Plan button. Once approved for the relevant period, the E&I Plan status will turn green.
5.- Your E&I Plan has been reviewed and approved! For subsequent E&I Plan periods, repeat steps 1 through 4.
