Christian, You can bring any task into a production run planned to be executed in any facility. The facility is set when you register the production run. If the associated facility does not hold the components in stock then you need to transfer the quantity needed to that facility.
You seem to be focused on executing the cleaning/inspection in a production run associated to one facility but have the task executed in another facility. This is currently not an ootb functionality/feature. You have multiple options here. One is to do as I decribed earlier. Another is to design your solution needed and implement it in your environment. And there are more.
