Quality
Measured, recorded, repeatable
Quality philosophy
Quality philosophy
Quality is easier to build in than to inspect in. The approach is to understand what a part is for, make the process capable of producing it, and measure enough to show that it has.
A result that cannot be shown is not a result. Measurements are kept so they can be reviewed with the customer.
Inspection workflow
Five stages, one record
Step 1: Incoming review
Drawings and any material information are checked before work begins.
Step 2: First-piece check
The first part is measured against the drawing and approved to continue.
Step 3: In-process checks
Key dimensions are checked at set intervals during the run.
Step 4: Final inspection
Finished parts are checked against the drawing.
Step 5: Records and release
Results are recorded and the batch is released for dispatch.
