Supplier Development and Alpha Quality Verification Project: Grey Iron Casting
Project type
Supplier Quality Development for product robustness.
Date
2004
Location
Central China
Project scope: to literally "walk the process" of a complex grey iron crankcase casting - from the casting to e-coating to machining to packaging to shipping process. Point of View: Reliability of Final Part and Life Cycle costs to User, OEM, and Tier 1 component assembly maker for any defect that may occur during processes and handoffs. A fascinating project that offered opportunity to aid the new suppliers understanding of what the specifications were and why they mattered. Great coordination/experience lessons from the engine OEMs SQA team on prior lessons learned and what they'd be requiring from their Tier 1. Key words: Voice of Process, Voice of Customer, GD&T, Casting defects, Walk the process, Process audit.
