Hello everyone,
I want to start by saying this site is remarkable thank you all so much for helping me with my questions. I have a question on torqueing assemblies that I can't seem to find the best way to inspect and record the operation. I am required to use sampling plan mil-std-1916 to inspect a assembly line for torqueing the assemblies 1/12. The customer in an auidit said that 1/12 does not mean I could check 2/24 or so on it has to be 1/12. What I have been doing is shuting down the line every 12th part and haveing an inspector check the part for the torqueing and then the line may resume. This takes a lot of down time. The torque wrench the operators uses is calibrated so I thought I could check the first and last part off the line and as long as they were good and the torque wrench was ok in calibration the parts ran that day would have to be good but, that was not good enough for the customer. I am looking for any other ways I could set this up so the line flows better and the inspector could be freed up to do other inspections. The customer will not let operators do the check and sign they did it with records to justify the operator did it it must be an inspector. Any Ideas?
Thank you,
