First-Piece & Line Inspection: Conduct first-piece approval at the start of every shift or batch change to verify setup accuracy. Perform routine, scheduled hourly audits along the production line.
Dimensional & Visual Checks: Measure parts against engineering drawings using hand-held precision inspection tools (e.g., Vernier calipers, micrometers, height gauges, thread plug/ring gauges, dial indicators).
✓Incoming Material Inspection: Inspect incoming raw materials, fabricated components, or packaging supplies against purchase order specs and sampling plans (such as AQL standards).
Defect Isolation & Red-Binning: Immediately halt production or segregate defective components into designated Red Bins (Non-Conforming Material areas) when defects exceed acceptable limits.
✓Final Quality Audit: Run final visual checks and cosmetic inspection on finished goods before boxing, ensuring correct labeling and packaging compliance.
