| First Article |
| |
| The initial process setups and first off assemblies
are verified and released for production run after detailed
first article evaluations are completed. First article reports
are documented and placed in the working job file. As an option,
the first article report and article may be held for customer
review prior to production release. The reason is that some
articles have impact on scheduling. The first article board
is used as a physical reference during the run and is tagged
for this purpose. |
| |
| Subsequent setups are also verified by repeating
the initial first article. |
| |
| Customer Source inspection is invited at any
time. |
| |

| All the employees are responsible for the quality
of their work. The audit function provides quality status assessment,
feedback for correction and process control, and control of
any nonconformance. |
| |

that control status is communicated to operators, supervisors
and engineers for appropriate action. Work groups review and
suggest improvement from this feedback. The groups are not limited
to providing feedback during this process only. Feedback and
concerns are welcome at any stage by every employee. |
