Industrial Technology Modernization Program. Project 43. Computerized and Advanced Quality Assurance System for the Fabrication Facility. Phase 2

Abstract

This project involves statistical acceptance of fabricated parts in the machine shop. The object is to turn over to production the responsibility of hardware appraisal while Quality will have the responsibility of auditing the system. Auditing will be comprised of checking gaging setup, visually inspecting workmanship, and reviewing data accumulated by the production operator. Electronic equipment will gather data and calculate control charts. This equipment uses standard gages to read dimensions and electronically transmit readouts to a microprocessor for determining acceptances. The benefits anticipated are a reduction of total processing time; real-time feedback to the operator on the quality of the process; aid to engineering analysis with the addition of recorded measurements; and nonquantitative reduction in scrap and rework.
