Synchronization vs Integration

Can I inspect or not? See Attachment 2 of AFI 90-201, “List of Authorized

Inspections” and PAD 13-1 If your functional inspection (includes certifications,

accreditations, etc.) is listed in Parts 1, 3, or 4 your team is currently authorized to conduct your inspection as a “Synchronized Inspection”

Those inspection activities and dates must: Take place at the same time as a capstone event Be coordinated with the applicable Gatekeeper

Synchronization vs Integration

Can I inspect or not? If your inspection is not listed anywhere in Attachment 2

of AFI 90-201, you are no longer authorized to conduct your inspection

Inspections listed in Part 2 of Attachment 2 will be integrated by 1 Oct 2014 per SECAF direction in PAD 13-1

However, inspection requirements outlined in Attachment 3 of AFI 90-201, “Air Force Inspection Requirements,” will be evaluated by an IG inspector under Title 10 authority Your inspection is then considered “Integrated” HAF FAMs write Attachment 3

UEI Integration

What does an Integrated Inspection mean in basic terms? The inspection name and separate report are gone FAMs no longer worry about inspection requirements or

scheduling As part of the UEI continuous evaluation process, the

MAJCOM IG samples the inspection requirements using permanent IG team members or augmentees from the MAJCOM functional staff, as required

The MAJCOM will use a risk-based sampling strategy outlined in AFI 90-201 to validate and verify CCIP effectiveness, including self-assessment checklist accuracy

New AFIS Goal

6

Stop this. Reward this.

In the new AF Inspection System, “inspection prep” will be unnecessary and ineffective. Most inspections will be done by the Wing Commander’s team on a continual basis…just part of the way the wing works as Airmen focus on mission readiness every day.

In the new AF Inspection System, Commanders will inspect their units’ ability to execute the mission, manage resources, lead people and improve performance. Functional experts on staffs will focus on enabling, as commanders focus on ensuring.

FAMs play a key role
