There is also a section for association and groups. Make sure you bookmark this for later.APQP is a structured approach to product and process design. This framework is a standardized set of quality requirements that enable suppliers to design a product that satisfies the customer.In a continuing series of lots, a quality level that, for the purpose of sampling inspection, is the limit of a satisfactory process average.A list of components and materials contained in the design record(s) of a product.Those items (functions, parts, software, characteristics, processes) having significant effect on the product realization and use of the product; including safety, performance, form, fit, function, producibility, service life, etc.; that require specific actions to ensure they are adequately managed. Examples include: safety CIs, fracture CIs, mission CIs, Key Characteristics (KCs), and maintenance tasks critical for safety.A device that dimensionally measures products, tools and components with an accuracy approaching 0.0001 inches. The costs associated with providing poor quality products or services. There are four categories: internal failure costs (costs associated with defects found before the customer receives the product or service), external failure costs (costs associated with defects found after the customer receives the product or service), appraisal costs (costs incurred to determine the degree of conformance to quality requirements) and prevention costs (costs incurred to keep failure and appraisal costs to a minimum).It is considered by some to be synonymous with COPQ but is considered by others to be unique. While the two concepts emphasize the same ideas, some disagree as to which concept came first and which categories are included in each.Written descriptions of the systems for controlling part and process quality by addressing the key characteristics and engineering requirements.A philosophy and attitude for analyzing capabilities and processes and improving them repeatedly to achieve customer satisfaction.The measurable data that is needed on a product that your customers have specified as being a very important requirement.

- [Gaining an Edge with a Medical Device Manufacturing QMS](https://highqa.com/high-qa-blog-medical-device-manufacturing-qms/): The medical device industry is an intriguing sector that is heavily regulated and a medical device manufacturing quality management system (QMS) is necessary for success. The need for regulation is clear: a malfunctioning medical gadget has a far greater effect than a door that won't shut. That is why the FDA must approve any medical device going into the market in the United States. Additionally, fulfilling ISO standards lends credence to your equipment and is required in several markets.The value of a medical device manufacturing QMS cannot be overstated. Quality Assurance ensures that processes and protocols comply with ISO13485 and USFDA standards.

- [High QA Blog: FAI – What It Is and When It’s Done](https://highqa.com/blog-fai-what-and-when/): If you work in manufacturing or quality control, you must ensure products meet quality expectations before pushing them to your clients. You'll have satisfied customers, a great recipe for continued business, and profitability. One way to ensure the products you manufacture meet a client's exact specifications is with an AS9102 FAIR (First Article Inspection Report). Many people often fall for the name, believing an FAI entails inspecting the first parts off the production line. First Article Inspection is about inspecting items within the initial batch, and the personnel conducting the process often pick the items randomly. So, an FAI doesn't necessarily mean you inspect the very first item on your production list.An authorized person in your company or a second-party inspector with the requisite laboratory and specialized measuring equipment, samples one or several parts from the initial production run. They inspect them by comparing the selected items against client specifications, usually critical dimensions found on ballooned drawings, to determine if they match exactly. The results are recorded on an AS9102 form.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Inspectors won't have to visit or make calls to your clients – the AS9102 form is enough. It contains all the important data, so it becomes the main reference point in the entire process. Inspectors can use it to verify the selected items to see if they meet your client's criteria. This is to ensure everything ticks, and production can continue.Before the FAI test concludes, production pauses as the inspectors check the parts in accordance with the laid framework. If they pass the test, production resumes. But what happens if the component happens to fail the test?If one or more of the selected components fail the FAI test, production will have to cease until the failure is addressed. The responsible parties assess the production to discover the cause and take corrective measures. Another FAI takes place to ensure the components are now compliant.While it's important to understand why you need an FAI test, you also need to know when it may be needed. Here are the times you need an FAI test:Before you embark on mass production for the wider market, you need to ensure your parts or components meet client expectations. You'll need to pause production and conduct a FAI on the first article to be sure you're on the right path. There would be no point producing items your customers won't like.You still need to be sure your products meet market expectations after a production lapse of two or more years. Conduct the FAI as part of the activities for restarting production.Changes in sourcing, materials, location or tools used in the manufacturing process may also call for a FAI. The test will show that the alterations didn't affect the quality of the item, or didn't create any adverse consequences on users, or functionality of the component.You'll need a FAI if a part or one of your products undergoes a design change. The FAI report in this case will break down the differences between the older and newer versions, as well as the original FAI. The test ensures that the latest version still meets customer specifications. The newest version may be better, but it's not guaranteed clients will need it.The first article inspection is not the only test to perform when measuring quality. However, it can be a vital one during the production of some components. A FAI will provide confidence to your customer that you can meet their needs without making costly mistakes.High QA 360 software eliminates paper FAIRs and AS9102 forms, organizes and automates all aspects of first article inspection processes to reduce the cost and time involved – and prevent errors along the way – helping you streamline your manufacturing process and create better parts.
