Hi, question on AS9102 FAIs....
My company purchases an assembly (a kit of several components and a paper guide) and due to a mistake 5 years ago the AS9102 FAI requirement was not rolled down to suppliers in any shape or form. This means that all purchased parts and assemblies have FAIs done by my company's quality group. Fixing that is in process and a different story. Right or wrong the FAIs are being performed for purchased product at an Incoming Inspection level.
The assembly drawing in question contains only a BOM and images of the parts and how they should be packed. Drawings for each component exist and these drawings contain the critical information for each component, such as size, color, and other FFF characteristics.
Question 1- How should we perform the FAI? Are the level lower drawings "invoked" since the part numbers are listed on the BOM? Or should the lower level characteristics be rolled up to the assembly drawing?
Question 2- There are 5 configurations of this assembly kit. They vary in color only of one component. Can section 4.6E of AS9102 apply to reduce the amount of work? This section states "FAI...may be satisfied by a previously approved FAI...similiar parts"
thanks!
