We are having difficulty separating prototype parts (arriving asynchronously from the shop floor) from production parts (arriving synchronous directly from inventory). Unfortunately, our MRP system does not explicitly declare a parts status. So, prototype parts arriving in the middle of a production shipment run the risk of slipping in as production and may not be recognized as needing specific conformity attention (-9, -3, etc.). Certainly we are not the only company to face this issue. We ship 5000-10000 parts per month, 10% of which may be prototype. Over the years our performance has been excellent, but we have lately noticed there is opportunity for error. Any ideas/ experience/ articles that might help a small conformity team protect themselves?
Many Thanks,
