Hi!
This is something like my 2nd post...
Need a little advice being in the middle of an AS audit.
The auditor noted that on two job travelers on the floor, the quantity of parts didn't match the job / decreased. Ie, Job calls for 35 pieces, OP 1 says 38 pieces made... Or job calls for 2000 pieces, OP 2 says scrap 30 - Qty 1970.
I know why the extra pieces were made, and why they were scrapped. Essentially they were extra pieces made because we will lose 1 or 2 during setup at a later op. On the 30 scrapped, that particular operation is known to have some loss... It's acceptable loss for us.
Either way, he is looking at writing us up as major nonconformance for lack of accountability since the job travelers do not indicate why there is a discrepancy.
Is this fair? Is this what the actual standard is looking for? Our traceability is flawless. Finished product numbers will match up if you follow the whole process. In these cases, the operator simply didn't mark down "why" he scrapped xyz pieces during op whatever.
Should I argue this? And if so... How should I argue this effectively?
Thanks!
