View Full Version : Assembly Line Traceability using Green Tags - Conformance with ISO9001

Hello,
I am in need of help! I have an assembly line that starts at one side of a room and ends at the other side. There are 7 to 8 stations in this line that do defferent processes throughout the line. The parts are in trays at a 24 pcs count. When one processes is finished a green move tag is placed on the tray with the part #,part name, and the last operation and the next operation, after that the parts are inspected and a green acceptable tag is placed on the tray and countinued to the next operation. These tags make the proceeses very clumsy and looks messy. Could anyone think of any other way this could be done and still be ISO 9001 complient? Thank you for your help.

One thing you might look at is using a traveler with each operation and is checked off and sign at each station.

Two can you errror proof at each station with a rabbit or gage prior to releasing to next operation

Three usie a kitting fixture at the end of the line with a completed certified part or sub assembly for what you are making and they have to match each at the end of the line.

Very Good comments,

The traveler is always a good idea, but you need multiple travelers xxx-1 -2 .... with quantities of 24 per traveler. This way you will keep traceability to all parts. Each 24 pcs will be identified by a (Job Number-dash number) through your process.

Its not what is compliant to ISO , but what works for you best.
Then you can modify the process to be compliant.

I agree, a job traveler with routings in a shop is the ideal situation. Develop this strategy then improve upon it then certify it as an ISO Standard Work Instruction.
