Before I make my post - We do not have a quality system.
We manufacture various electronic and electro-mechanical systems. Many of the systems need to be tested at various stages. We have test procedures, but many are not referenced, tracked, controlled etc. Some procedures are used with different products that do not share the same part number.
I've proposed placing them on the BOMs (bill of materials) so they would at least be referenced (right now there is no link between the TP and the item except some drawings reference the TPs), but was told it was an "Insane idea" by the engineer the would be responsible for adding them. Of course, she didn't offer another solution.
Without adding them to the BOM, we would be required to create and maintain a seperate database to do so.
We have "Assembly books", but many times pages are ruined, thrown out, or lost.
So here is my question - how many of you (your company) attach TPs to your BOMs and/or how do you otherwise insure your products are tested (remember - we do not have a quality system)?
Thanks,
