For the required results, the Inspection Process implements auditing elements that:
- Restrict Variations
- Impose Controls
- Ingrain Accountability
This Process Audit is used throughout the Helgesen Business System as an embedded forcing function for the execution of key process elements.

Process variations are corrected through:
- Product Lifecycle Management — APQP, PPAP, mistake proofing, and change management
- Integration of Effective Countermeasures — Sequence-based Control & “DON’T EXPECT IT, INSPECT IT” Auditing
- Systematic Problem-solving Approaches — 8D & Simplified Six Sigma focused on the elimination of root causes.
Zero-Defects is an attitude shared by all Helgesen employees who aggressively attack process variations that create defects.
