Re: Sampling help needed - MIL-STD-105E for big batches
It is easier to preach then put into practice, but I have not been able to find the solution for problems in similar process. My suggestion for what its worth is to concentrate on eliminating / reducing the causes of the defects rather than measures. What are the causes of the smudges – grease on rollers, loose paper fibre, varying paper quality ink running low etc. What can be done to prevent these incidents? How effective is the preventive maintenance schedule can it be improved upon? As an immediate action, can the operator take samples during production pull a sample at regular time intervals if a sample is OK release the stock, if not inspect all product produced since the previous check.
Improve your process by reducing the causes of the defect, your confidence in the process to meet your customer requirements will grow.
