				assurance of each recreational park trailer model;
(4) Drawings and procedures displaying
				manufacturing processes including a schematic plant layout;
(5) Descriptions of production stations,
				including surge-hold stations, on-site or offsite repair-rework locations, and
				off-line construction sites. Descriptions should identify by station and
				location the work, tests, or inspections performed and the job title of the
				person performing the quality control review;
(6) Inspection and equipment maintenance
				instructions, including jig maintenance, check-off lists, and other
				documentation verifying quality control performance and
