QUALITY CONTROL
Quality control for custom metal parts—from drawing review to final inspection.
Inspection requirements are reviewed alongside material, geometry, tolerances, application and production volume. The agreed quality plan then guides sampling, production checks, final inspection and project records.
BEFORE PRODUCTION
Quality requirements are defined before production begins.
The drawing revision, material specification, critical dimensions, tolerances, appearance requirements and applicable tests should be confirmed during engineering review. Inspection methods, sampling expectations and required records can then be aligned with the part risk and customer requirements.
CONTROL PLAN
Control points across the manufacturing route
The exact inspection scope varies by process and part. These control points help connect incoming requirements, production conditions and final acceptance.
Drawing & revision control
Confirm the current drawing, specification and approved changes before manufacturing decisions are released.
Material verification
Align material grade, applicable standards and required documentation with customer specifications and purchase requirements.
Incoming inspection
Define checks for incoming material, purchased components or outsourced operations according to project risk.
In-process checks
Monitor characteristics that can change during casting, forging, machining and secondary operations.
Final inspection
Evaluate agreed dimensional, visual, functional and documentation requirements before release.
Records & traceability
Connect inspection records and batch information to the level agreed for the customer project.
INSPECTION EVIDENCE
Inspection evidence matched to project requirements
Required records should be agreed during quotation and engineering review so both teams understand what will be submitted with samples or production batches.
NONCONFORMANCE RESPONSE
A structured path for quality issues
When a nonconformance is identified, the response should connect immediate containment, root-cause analysis, corrective action and follow-up verification. Customer communication and required records are defined according to the issue and project requirements.
Review the complete project workflow →Identify affected material or batches and define the immediate response.
Review the process, records and contributing conditions behind the issue.
Define actions, responsibilities and the records required by the project.
Check implementation and communicate the agreed result to the customer.
DEFINE QUALITY REQUIREMENTS EARLY
Have critical dimensions or inspection requirements?
Send the drawing, material specification, tolerances, application and required quality records with your RFQ so the inspection scope can be reviewed before quotation.
