• Key Concepts: 
  Reduced inspection is a Quality Management (QM) component in SAP that allows users to reduce the amount of time and resources spent on inspecting goods. It is based on the concept of statistical process control (SPC), which uses statistical methods to monitor and control a process. The goal of reduced inspection is to reduce the amount of time and resources spent on inspecting goods while still ensuring quality.
  
  How to use it: 
  In order to use reduced inspection, users must first set up the inspection characteristics in the QM system. This includes defining the sampling procedure, setting up the inspection plan, and defining the acceptance criteria. Once these steps are completed, users can then use the reduced inspection feature to inspect goods with fewer resources and less time.
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When setting up the inspection characteristics, it is important to ensure that all relevant information is included. This includes information about the product, such as its size, weight, and material composition. Additionally, users should ensure that they have set up an appropriate sampling procedure and acceptance criteria for their particular product.
  
  Related Information: 
  Reduced inspection is closely related to other Quality Management components such as Quality Certificates and Quality Notifications. Additionally, it is important to note that reduced inspection is only applicable when using SPC methods for quality control.
