First Time Suppliers - Tracking New Suppliers

Hi. We seem to lack first time suppliers go through on new product. Is there anyone who would have a form to track a first time through?

Ron, I'm not clear on what you're asking.

Normally with a new supplier, we would first do a 1 pc. sample to ensure gage correlation with the supplier, and then a first article order (quantity depends on the type of part) that we do a full inspection and test on. (typically non-destruct and destruct testing)

Once the parts have passed the first article, we add the supplier to our Approved Supplier List and then begin production purchases.

The supplier's reject rate is then figured on a monthly basis, as part of our supplier metrics.

It sounds like you're not doing a first article, but trying to track them in production?

My company does the same. The only additional item we may do is perform a pilot run depending on the type and criticality of the part/assembly.

Yes, a production run, where applicable, is also part of our First Article process also. Forgot to add that!

If the change affects form, fit or function, then I'd say yes, it should be FA'ed again.

There are always exceptions, of course. but a s general rule, we would re-inspect

Absolutely. The purpose of the First Article is to ensure compliance to customer specifications regarding any changes.
