Quality Control Training

Hi everyone. Today, we’ll follow a batch of aluminum mounting plates from receiving to final inspection, focusing on how to catch defects early and keep accurate quality records.

Start by matching the shipment to the purchase order and approved drawing. Check the part number and revision, quantity, visible damage, and required material or inspection documents. For example, if the labels show revision B but the work order calls for revision C, place the parts in the designated hold area and notify your supervisor before production uses them.

Next, follow the inspection plan and use the correct measuring tools with valid calibration. For example, if a mounting hole must measure 10 millimeters, with a tolerance of plus or minus 0.1, but you measure 10.14, the part is outside the acceptable limit. Record the result, stop the affected operation, and check whether other parts may be affected.

When a result falls outside the requirement, identify the affected parts, separate them from accepted material, and document what was found, including the batch, operation, measurement, and time. Report the issue to the quality or production lead for review. Never change results, mix questionable parts with accepted stock, or rework or release them without approval.

Before wrapping up, make sure your inspection records are complete and accurate. Remember, every check counts toward better quality and safer production. Thank you for your attention!
