Detailed data and records to assure 100 percent compliance support each quality requirement. Quality requirements include production part approval with detailed analysis of the process and its effect on a product's form, fit and function. Specific critical characteristics must be verified and reported to assure that process capability is within prescribed limits. Krajcirovic added that continuous improvement must be fully supported both with action and data to achieve certification. For example, formal continuous improvement targets must be maintained for machine set-up and downtime, scrap, rework, process variation, yields, cost, handling and customer complaints.
Teams evaluate such areas as automation, ergonomics, equipment and tooling.
