The document discusses intelligent inspections and system based enforcement, noting that inspections must ensure confidence in whether a system is solid, performs as advertised, and is up to the task. It examines examples of production systems and quality controls for orange juice, as well as examples of a family transport company that improved processes through increased administrative requirements, resulting in fewer incidents and increased compliance, reputation, and fuel savings. The discussion focuses on matching the appropriate level of inspection tools to the level of development of the regulated companies.
