inspection and test in a job shop
Hello quality professionals
I am just getting started in a career of management in a small machine shop.
There is one thing about my ISO documentation that I haven't yet touched. Inspection and test status, or any provisions regarding the inspection and test part of our service.
I have never worked in a machine shop besides this one and I don't know how to approach it at all.
We do the following: Receive material, machine it on automatics, perform secondary operations, outsource for plating/grinding/heat treating, warehouse & ship.
My questions are: Where would you require inspection? How often? How would you identify parts that have been inspected? Can an machine operator's inspection or sign-off suffice to identify good parts, or for example, is the quality inspector's sign-off required to approve parts for the next operation?
