Does anyone have a procedure they would be willing to share that covers receiving inspection that meets the TS 16949 requirement. Also should receiving be part of section 8.2.4 monitoring and measurement or 7.4.3 verification of purchased product.

You don't have to match your processes to clauses in the standard. You just need to have a standardized way of dealing with incoming material. What do you do now?

We are a molding company so I only have 5 products that I receive, raw material (no test done only cert verification) and assembly components.

I do not do any variable inspection anymore because for over a year now we have not found any dimensional defects so I only look for packaging damage or stains on the boxes that would alert me to a potential issue.

How do I convince an auditor that I only need to do a visual and document it?

You need to document what you do now, and be able to provide records that indicate that what you do works for you. If you keep records of receiving verification, that should be enough.

As Marc would say - a search is a beautiful thing -

Incoming Receiving Inspection Form wanted (http://elsmar.com/Forums/showthread.php?t=20272)

Current thread with same request.

I did do a search and was looking for an example of a procedure not inspection forms to how other companies where doing RI and how they tied it back to TS and there weren't any, only inspection forms, but thanks.

How about this?

I was reading this thread because I needed to see some information on receiving inspection and noticed that there is a newcomer to the Cove...

Welcome, NP Nguyen, to the Cove!

Here is an example we have in the system. I cannot post attachments due to our company firewall. Hope this helps.

1.0 RECEIVING/INCOMING INSPECTION

2.0 SCOPE:

This procedure is to define the receiving/incoming inspections that may be performed to verify raw materials and component parts, received by MSC from approved suppliers, meet the specified requirements.

3.0 DEFINITIONS:

QAV Quality Assurance Visits may be performed to audit suppliers’ quality
Systems on site to ensure that products meet the specified requirements.

4.0 RESPONSIBILITIES:

4.1 Quality Control Department
-may conduct receiving/incoming inspection for each part that MSC uses in production. Provides disposition to production encountered non-conformities from suppliers during use/inspection.
-Issues Corrective Action Requests to suppliers when non-conforming product is found.
-Isolates and identifies all non-conforming product and if applicable all completed parts made with the questionable product.
-conducts supplier QAV’s, if required.

5.0 QUALITY PROCEDURE:

5.1 The supplier is responsible for ensuring product quality. MSC requires
suppliers to assure that only acceptable quality products will be received.

5.1.1 Suppliers may be required to develop and produce a Parts Quality
Control Plan, or PPAP for all products supplied to MSC.

5.1.2 In addition to a Control Plan a supplier may be required to develop a Failure Mode and Effect Analysis (FMEA).

5.1.3 Suppliers shall provide certification data on any defined critical dimensions, or properties designated in the specifications or part drawing and/or the Control Plan, as a record of ensuring the quality of the parts delivered to MSC. Amount and frequency of data provided shall be determined by the suppliers’ quality history.

5.1.4 Suppliers quality systems may be audited by MSC on a periodic
basis. These audits are defined as Quality Assurance Visits (QAV).
The visiting MSC Quality Control Department Associate or Manager will generate a written report of the QAV.

5.2 Received stock may be chosen at random for inspection of each type material received from approved suppliers.

5.3 The receiving/incoming inspection forms may be preset and require measurements of the material dimensions which are critical to manufacturing or assembly of the final product quality integrity. Status of disposition is by identification of material with a green OK QC tag, a yellow HOLD, or a red REJECT tag. All tags are dated, signed and attached to lot by designated QC inspector or see 5.3.1.

5.3.1 If during a receiving/incoming inspection, or subsequent manufacturing processes, a non-conformance is discovered, the material or parts will be identified and segregated, and the QC Manager will be notified for disposition. A Corrective Action Request may be issued to the supplier and immediate actions will be negotiated depending on the severity of the problem.

5.3.2 At the time of a non-conformance discovery, any completed parts
made with suspect material will be identified, and isolated through lot traceability identification.

5.3.3 Isolated/segregated parts and/or suspect material shall be
identified by using a yellow hold/or red reject tag signed and dated, pending management disposition.

5.3.4 Hold tags shall not be removed from any product until it has been dispositioned by QC Management, or it has been rejected and is either being sent back to the supplier, or dispositioned as scrap, at which point a red reject tag would replace the yellow hold tag.

5.4 Receiving inspection records shall be indexed and filed by material type and name, and date of generation in the appropriate binder.

5.4.1 Receiving inspection records shall be checked and signed by a QC Department Associate performing the inspections.

5.4.2 Supplied data, material certifications, and QAV reports shall be retained by QC and filed by supplier and date generated in the appropriate binder.
