The employee should initial and date any Single Event Sample Pull Report indicating the sample is the last Learning Curve Review and the manager should ensure retain a copy of the initialed report.
The process of selecting a portion of completed work for review is called sampling. Random sampling is the process of choosing a sample in such a way that all completed work has the same chance of being included in the sample regardless of when the work is completed.
When quality review results for an OF produces an accuracy rate of 97.0% or higher, the work is considered High Quality Work (HQW) and is quality reviewed as High Quality Function (HQF). HQW does not require the same degree of sampling as work producing a lower accuracy rate. Therefore, HQW is sampled as OF/Product Review rather than Individual Quality Review. Resources are saved and focus can be directed to OFs with lower quality accuracy rates.
Individual review samples must be pulled across the week with at least four samples per week for each employee. Product Review (HQW Review) samples should be pulled each day but at a minimum of four days per week.
Quality Reviewers record review results in the EQSP system. Review results should be input timely for each week ending (weeks run Sunday through Saturday). Review results must be entered and the review completed by COB Wednesday of the subsequent week in order for quality results to appear on the employee's weekly IPR.
