Question:
Hi,
May be a basic question...on what factors do we determine that a material has to be specified via task list or material specification?

Answer:
inspection plans/tasklists are used when you have a sequence of inspection operations, performed by different workcenter/persons, with different costs per activity to be accounted for, using production resource tools (PRTs).
material specifications are used when you only need to identify which features/characteristics are to be inspected (so no operation sequence, cost or PRT features are available).
i personally find inspection plans a preferable approach since these share the same header/item structure of other tasklist types (routings, master recipes, rate routings, maintenance plans) and in that sense make it easier to make cross references during training.

Answer:
Probably the most important aspect is that Task Lists are at Plant level. Specifications are client level.
Answer:
Material specs are very powerful and a great QM tool to improve company quality. I highly recommend you consider using them, especially if your using batch management at all.
The specs can be passed into the inspection plans automatically and it can save a lot of inspection plan maintainance. It's so nice to be able to change the specs in one place and have them trickle on down the line!
