AutoQuiz: What Is Receipt Verification in Industrial Processes?

The post AutoQuiz: What Is Receipt Verification in Industrial Processes? first appeared on the ISA Interchange blog site.

AutoQuiz is edited by Joel Don, ISA’s social media community manager.

This automation industry quiz question comes from the ISA Certified Automation Professional (CAP) certification program. ISA CAP certification provides a non-biased, third-party, objective assessment and confirmation of an automation professional’s skills. The CAP exam is focused on direction, definition, design, development/application, deployment, documentation, and support of systems, software, and equipment used in control systems, manufacturing information systems, systems integration, and operational consulting. Click this link for more information about the CAP program.

Receipt verification is a systematic process by which a site verifies that what was specified and ordered is actually what is received. To do this effectively, the person who performs this function will:

  1. Verify the received item was what was actually purchased by checking the item’s model number against the purchase order (answer B)
  2. Make sure the correct quantity of each item has been received (answer C)
  3. Verify that the manufacturer and model number match that shown on the specification for the item (answer D)

Loop checks (answer A) are completed in the same phase of the project (deployment phase), but only after receipt verification and installation tasks are completed. Therefore, A is the correct answer, as it is the only choice that is not part of the receipt verification task.
