Re: NQA-1 and Interface Control
I am not sure, I call the welder things gauges myself
I just don't get too hung up in who calls what a tool. Maybe that is wrong, but I just figure if it measures or monitors something that we are certifying the characteristic as being some certain value, then we need to calibrate it. If it measures or monitors some process value that we say needs to be met prior to releasing the product from one step to the next, it needs to be calibrated. Maybe a tool would be like a jig? Making sure that it is what you think it is?
Boy, I guess I sound like a real expert, don't I?
