INSPECTION & PROJECT RECORDS

Quality Inspection

Define inspection characteristics, sampling, methods and required records before production so the delivered evidence matches the drawing, process risk and customer acceptance basis.

SERVICE OVERVIEW

Connect the service scope to the finished-part requirement.

Inspection scope should be proportional to the part and project risk. Material identity, critical dimensions, appearance, casting or forging integrity, functional characteristics and documentation may require different methods and sampling plans.

The required evidence is reviewed during quotation and engineering review. This prevents a generic inspection promise from replacing a clear agreement about what will be checked, how acceptance will be determined and which records will accompany samples or production lots. Equipment, laboratory work and special testing are included only when confirmed for the project.

RecordsIncluded documents confirmed before production

CUSTOMER INPUTS

Information required for an actionable review.

Incomplete requirements can change the quotation, process route and inspection scope. These inputs help identify open items before production planning.

01

Controlled drawing and specification

Revision, datums, tolerances, notes and referenced standards.

02

Critical characteristics

Features affecting fit, sealing, safety, function, assembly or customer control plans.

03

Material and process route

Grade, condition and manufacturing operations that influence inspection risk.

04

Sampling and acceptance requirements

First article, lot sampling, frequency, acceptance criteria and any customer format.

05

Required documents and tests

Material records, dimensional report, NDT, functional testing, traceability or other agreed evidence.

SERVICE SCOPE

Available work is confirmed by project, not by a generic checklist.

The execution route may combine Tianluping operations and controlled specialist suppliers. The quotation defines what is included.

Drawing and revision verification

Connect the inspection plan and production release to the applicable controlled drawing and approved changes.

Project-defined

Material verification and records

Review required material identification, certificates or testing against the project specification.

Project-defined

Dimensional inspection

Select suitable instruments, fixtures or measurement methods for drawing-defined features and tolerances.

Project-defined

Visual and surface inspection

Evaluate agreed casting, forging, machining or finish conditions using defined acceptance criteria.

Project-defined

Functional or special testing

Coordinate agreed leak, pressure, hardness, NDT or other tests when required and technically applicable.

Project-defined

Traceability and inspection documents

Provide the identification and records explicitly included in the project quality plan or quotation.

Project-defined

PROJECT WORKFLOW

Review, approve and control the service route.

The exact milestones depend on the project, but responsibility and acceptance should be visible before production begins.

STEP 01

Requirement review

Identify revision, critical characteristics, referenced standards, tests, sampling and required customer formats.

OutputReleased lot and agreed records

DELIVERABLES & RESPONSIBILITY

Agree what will be supplied and what evidence is required.

Deliverables are project-specific and should be included in the quotation, approval plan or quality agreement.

Dimensional reportCharacteristic scope and format agreed by project
Material documentationWhen specified and available under the quotation
Visual or finish recordWhen documented visual acceptance is required
Functional or special-test reportOnly for agreed and completed testing
Lot identification recordAccording to the agreed traceability scope

PROJECT QUESTIONS

Questions to clarify before quotation.

Is every dimension inspected on every part?

Not automatically. Characteristics, frequency and sampling should be defined by the drawing, part risk, production stage and customer quality requirements.

Which inspection reports can be supplied?

Dimensional, material, visual, functional or special-test records may be available when specified and included in the quotation. The exact format and scope must be agreed before production.

Can customer-specific inspection formats be used?

Customer formats can be reviewed during quotation. The required characteristics, method, sample size and submission stage should be supplied in advance.

How are external laboratory tests controlled?

When external testing is required, the laboratory scope, applicable method, sample identification and report requirements should be defined as part of the project plan.

ENGINEERING REVIEW

Define the complete scope before quotation.

Share the drawing, material, quantity, application and required records. The team can review the manufacturing and supporting-service route together.
