Process Management
The product realization and measurement are the core processes. The process management here refers to these processes.
-
Incoming Control
The quality department is responsible for the IQC process which is used to control suppliers, verify incoming materials and handle material quality problems. This prevents nonconforming product material to be unintentionally used.
• Perform approved vendor checklist
• Evaluate supplier quality records
• Perform sampling and inspection of incoming materials
• Monitor quality control of inspected properties and alert engineering staff of deviations
• Continuous enhancement of the IQC process
-
In-Process Control
The IPQC process is used to control the manufacturing process, assembly and testing, helping to decrease the occurrence of defects and to document how any defects that occur should be handled.
Specific tasks of IPQC includes:
• Perform inspections on assembled and in-process materials according to inspection STD
• Conduct in-line automated and manual inspections in the production process
• Ensure the conformance of process setup
• Utilize statistical control techniques and watch for significant deviations
• Perform in-process audits to ensure methods are up to standard and to identify factors needing improvement.
-
Final Control
The quality department is also responsible for the FQC process. FQC is a comprehensive inspection that evaluates the products whether they are acceptable or not with IQC and IPQC which ensures the validity of previous processes.
Specific tasks of FQC includes:
• Perform visual and functional inspection
• Apply sampling-based or 100% inspection
• Conduct reliability testing
• Submit failure analysis reports and alert engineering staff
• Archive DHR document
-
Outgoing Assurance
The OQC is the last gate before products are delivered to customers. This very important process ensures our shipments are defect-free, DHR is reviewed, and the delivery information is checked. Products are permitted to be released after the quality manager signs the confirmation.
• Perform visual, dimension and functional inspection
• Apply sampling based or 100% inspection
• Review and finish DHR document
• Check delivery information
• Quality manager authentication
