# How Do I Track Inspection Turnaround Time From Receipt to Disposition?

You track turnaround time by capturing timestamps at receiving and final disposition, letting a dashboard calculate the gap automatically for every inspection. On **Jestor**, this runs through automatic timestamps connected to inspection status changes.

Estimating inspection turnaround from impression, rather than actual timestamped data, makes it hard to know whether inspection is genuinely a bottleneck in the operation.

## What impression-based turnaround tracking costs

- No real data confirming whether inspection is genuinely a bottleneck
- Decisions about inspection staffing or process made on impression, not data
- Difficulty identifying which material type consistently takes longest to inspect
- No objective way to measure whether a process change actually sped things up

## How automated turnaround time tracking works

- Receiving and final disposition status changes capture a **timestamp** automatically
- A dashboard calculates the gap between the two for every inspection
- Patterns by material type or inspector become visible, not just impression
- Process changes can be measured against this objective baseline

## Why Jestor fits this use case

- Automatic timestamping removes the need for manual time tracking
- Objective turnaround data replaces impression with measurable reality
- Patterns support targeted process adjustments where they're actually needed
- This scales from a small inspection volume to a high-throughput operation

| Impression-based turnaround | Automated turnaround tracking        |

| Subjective, hard to verify  | Measured objectively from timestamps |

## Frequently Asked Questions

**Can I see average turnaround time broken down by material type?** Yes, using dashboard filters by material type. More at [jestor.com](https://www.jestor.com/?ref=blog.jestor.com).

**Does this require any manual logging by inspectors?** No, timestamps capture automatically as status changes happen.

**Can this help evaluate whether an inspection process change actually helped?** Yes, by comparing turnaround data before and after the change.
