Inspection Before the Parts Leave, Not After They Fail

Four checkpoints, one record per batch, and a first article you sign off before the run is released.

Where the checks sit

Inspection at the end of a line only finds defects that already exist. Inspection at each handover stops them from travelling to the next process and turning one bad decision into a scrapped batch.

So the record follows the part rather than the department: incoming material, first article, in-process, final.

AQLSampling Stated, Not Implied

Sampling plans are agreed per part. We state the level instead of writing “zero defect”.

The four checkpoints

Each one has a go or no-go, and the batch does not move without it.

01

Incoming material

Heat number, grade and thickness checked against the drawing before anything is cut.

02

First article

Full dimensional report plus a finish panel, sent for your approval before the run starts.

03

In-process

Hole positions, bend angles and coating thickness sampled through the run, not only at the end.

04

Final and packing

Visual, dimensional and packing check, with photographs of the actual batch.

What travels with each batch

If your QA team asks for it later, it already exists.

Documents are issued per batch, not per year. A blank row means we did not test it, and we will say so.

Send a drawing and tell us the inspection level

We will say which checkpoints apply to that part and what the record will contain.
