Quality planning

Define quality expectations before production begins.

Inspection points, acceptance criteria, traceability context, and release documentation are planned against the requirements agreed for each project.

Quality planning

Translate requirements into agreed checks and records.

Critical product requirements, inspection points, acceptance criteria, material documents, and release deliverables are confirmed against the scope of each project.

Control flow

Connect each agreed check to a relevant production stage.

The final control plan and included records depend on the part, application, customer requirements, and approved project scope.

  1. 01
    Incoming review

    Review the material and incoming information required by the agreed production route.

  2. 02
    First-article confirmation

    Check the first production output against the criteria and approvals defined for the project.

  3. 03
    In-process checks

    Apply the agreed visual, dimensional, or process checks at relevant manufacturing stages.

  4. 04
    Final inspection

    Review completed parts and defined deliverables against the confirmed release criteria.

  5. 05
    Release documentation

    Organize the inspection and material records included in the agreed project handoff.

Traceability and records

Keep project context connected to production information.

Material identification, production references, inspection records, and release documentation can be organized to the traceability scope confirmed for the project.

Project-defined verification

Use the checks the product actually requires.

Examples may include dimensional review, visual criteria, material documents, fit checks, or an agreed functional method. The final verification scope depends on the product and customer requirements.

Non-conformance workflow

Contain, review, decide, and document.

When an output does not meet agreed criteria, the project workflow can separate affected material, review the issue, record the disposition, and define follow-up action with the relevant owners.

Project inquiry

Make inspection and documentation part of the brief.

Share critical requirements, intended checks, and required records so the quality scope can be confirmed with the project.
