Creating and using inspection templates in your operation can help ensure all relevant factors are considered during an inspection, and can help make the process more efficient and consistent. Inspection templates will standardize inspection procedures across different locations and can be customized for each asset class as needed.
Creating an inspection is a multi-step process where the user will define the overall scope of the inspection by creating each level of inspection tied to specific areas of the asset as well as steps within each of those areas.
