1.1 The management (ie. Company Directors and Company Secretary) are responsible for the following:-
1.2 Quality Control
The assigned Quality Assurance Manager shall be responsible for all quality issues and related documents. All copies will be issued to members of the Company or other authorized individuals. It will be the responsibility of the Quality Assurance Manager to ensure that all amendments are incorporated and that all documents are maintained up-to-date and are available to all relevant staff.
1.3 Reissue
Amendments shall be carried out to reflect the current Quality Assurance Programme. Each amended procedure is identified by the revision number on page one of the procedure and dated on the amendments list. Each new issue cancels and supersedes all previous issues and amendments. Amendments will not be implemented until the relevant section has been rewritten, approved by the Quality Assurance Manager and issued.
2.1 Introduction
All written procedures and other controlled documents are issued by the Quality Assurance Manager to all people who require a copy for the effective operation of the quality programme. The Quality Assurance Manager will ensure that the issued procedures are fully maintained.
2.2 Checking
It is the responsibility of the users of the documents to ensure that they remain legible and readily identifiable. If a problem is found with a document, the Quality Assurance Manager should be informed immediately.
2.3 Obsolete Documents
To prevent the unintended use of obsolete documents any such documents will either be disposed of or will be suitably marked to identify them as obsolete if they are to be retained for any purpose.
All project work must be saved with a unique document number. Each revision must be saved with a unique identifier (eg. filename_rev2). All parts, assemblies, drawings, models etc. must be checked and signed off by the project manager prior to delivery to customers, suppliers or for internal processing (eg. rapid prototyping).
The key equipment used for measuring are the Evatronix and FreeScan 3D scanners. This equipment is calibrated in the manufacturer’s factory. The calibration must be routinely checked once a month. On an annual basis a calibration checked must be performed, measuring the scanned data against a known measurement (eg. gauge blocks).
Staff training is reviewed annually. The company records training courses undertaken by members of staff. With regard to Quality methods, it is the responsibility of the senior engineer to ensure all work is quality checked prior to the project being completed. A project record is kept of each project.
Any suggested improvements or modifications to this procedure are to be passed on to the Quality Assurance Manager for discussion at the next Quality Review Committee meeting.
