I hate to provide these answers that discuss buying additional modules, and I have not worked with 6.
In 8, we can specify part classes or individual parts be inspected BEFORE being stocked. I believe this is part of the QA module in V8.
I have not seen a way to make it time based. I suppose adding to the QA inspection feature, a BPM (v8) could be written to inspect that flag and search for previous dates, but seems cumbersome unless tied to a specific process.
I do not know how many of these you typically get, but maybe the QA inspection flag could be used to force the inspection, and the tracking of the passage of time be done manually or through a report run every so often which could do the calculations for the time conditions. And, in v8, I could schedule that report to show me every week or so what part to remove from requiring inspection.
