Greetings All,
I am a quality inspector and test technician for a US navy prime contractor and I have been asked for input regarding how to increase the efficiency of our receiving inspection. After reading ISO 9001:2015, MIL-STDS, customer contracts and purchase orders, I am struggling to understand how my company has established some of its receiving inspection plans.
For example, we buy COTS and SCH such as nuts, bolts, adhesives, and wire ties from places like McMaster-Carr that are shipped with a Certificate of Conformance. When we receive them, we are required to do 100% dimensions on a sample every time. My question is, if the C of C states that what they sent complies with what we ordered and we ordered a ASME or ISO compliant bolt, shouldn’t that relieve us from having to do anything short of making sure the part number matches the purchase order?
