Quality / Inspection and Release

Quality control built around drawing risk and production evidence

A quality claim becomes useful when the inspection stage, method, record and reaction plan are defined for the actual part.

01 / Workflow

Quality control from incoming material to release

The project inspection plan should start from the drawing and customer requirements. Critical dimensions, material condition, appearance, sealing or functional features determine the inspection method and frequency.

  • Incoming material and supplier records
  • Drawing and change control
  • First-article and in-process checks
  • Dimensional, visual, material and functional verification
  • Outgoing checks and release documentation

02 / Documents

Release documents are defined by the project

Typical controllable documents can include dimensional reports, material records, inspection records, first-article documents and project-specific PPAP files.

The quotation or quality agreement should state exactly which documents will be supplied, at which stage and for which lot.

  • Drawing revision and change record
  • Material and batch traceability
  • Dimensional and visual results
  • Functional or sealing test record
  • Packaging and shipment release
03 / Evidence

Documents that travel with the parts

Inspection records are produced against the approved drawing, so the buyer receives dimension data, material records and release documents for the agreed scope.

Certificate copies, calibration records and sample inspection reports are shared with the project team on request.

Buyer questions

Questions to resolve before production.

These answers define the normal project path and the information needed for a useful quotation.

The factory operates an ISO 9001 and IATF 16949 quality system. Current certificates and their scope are shared on request.

The report scope is defined by the project inspection plan and approved drawing.

Inspection frequency depends on the feature, risk and agreed control plan. Critical features defined in the control plan can be inspected 100%.

PPAP may be discussed for automotive or structured programs when the customer requirement, project timing and evidence scope are agreed.
