A-2026-0037 — Hole spacing outside tolerance
Quarantine hold activeBearing block, 4-way, 41.220-03, batch CH-2026-0771, from inspection order PA-2026-1184
Finding
- Characteristic
- M04 spacing of the M8 tapped holes
- Nominal
- 62.00 mm
- Tolerance
- ±0.05 mm, permitted 61.95 to 62.05 mm
- Actual
- 62.07 mm — worst value in the sample of 5
- Overrun
- 0.02 mm above the upper limit
- Second measurement
- 62.07 mm on KMG-02, finding confirmed
Extent and traceability
- Batch affected
- CH-2026-0771, 240 pieces in the quarantine store
- Already shipped
- none
- Same characteristic before
- A-2026-0036, batch CH-2026-0759 of 28 Jul
- Machine and fixture
- BAZ-04, fixture SP-19
- Material
- EN AW-6082 T6, heat 5A-2211
Root cause analysis
- Method
- Five whys, shop floor review on 31 Jul, 10:00 AM
- Suspected cause
- Fixture SP-19 not seated fully against its stop after cleaning, shifting the datum by roughly 0.02 mm
- Proof still outstanding
- Repeat measurement after re-clamping, planned for 4 Aug
- Owner
- R. Wilmott, production management
Disposition
- Immediate action
- Production on BAZ-04 stopped, batch placed on hold
- Proposal
- Rework not technically possible — request a concession from the customer
- Deadline
- 5 Aug
- Decided by
- Quality management, in agreement with sales
Actions on A-2026-0037
Immediate actions, corrective actions, and the check that they worked.
Batch CH-2026-0771 placed on hold
Immediate action · 31 Jul · K. Osborne240 pieces moved to the quarantine store, labeled with the hold tag and the nonconformity number.
done
Production on BAZ-04 stopped
Immediate action · 31 Jul · R. WilmottRestart only once the repeat measurement after re-clamping comes back a pass.
done
Check fixture SP-19, amend the setup sheet
Corrective action · due 5 Aug · R. WilmottClean and measure the stop face, add the seating step to the setup sheet, brief the setters.
open
Request a concession from the customer
Disposition · due 5 Aug · Quality managementHole spacing 0.02 mm over the limit. Without a concession the batch is booked as scrap.
open
Verify effectiveness
Corrective action · due 30 Sep · Quality managementMeasure M04 on three consecutive batches at 100 %. Only then return to a sample of n = 5.

How Awelior would approach this project
Fairbridge Precision Engineering Inc. is invented — the way it is built is not. None of this is work delivered for a client. It is the shape we would give such a project — with the same depth, but without a client who would have to answer for it.
Where it starts
Fairbridge Precision Engineering Inc. inspects in production and documents on paper. Inspection plans live in a spreadsheet, the calibration list is taped to the metrology room door. As long as nothing is challenged that is enough; once a complaint arrives, somebody has to work backwards from the batch through the order to the measurement record — and that path does not exist in a binder.
Decisions
Traceability down to the batch as the ground plan
Inspection order, record, nonconformity and measuring equipment hang on the same chain. That is not one feature among many but the arrangement every other screen follows from.
A nonconformity is a case of its own
A rejection does not end with a red field in the record; it becomes a case with cause, action and effectiveness check. Without that a quality system is a collection of measurements.
Measuring equipment with calibration dates in the system
A caliper whose calibration has lapsed makes every record produced with it contestable. The list on the door knew that too — the record did not.
Deliberately left outNo connection to measuring machines and no statistical process control. Both are the next step and assume the inspection processes are cleanly in the system first — otherwise a control chart gets drawn from values whose origin nobody can evidence.
What is in it
- Screens
- 5
- Content blocks
- 19
- Languages
- 4
Five screens, in all four languages, with sidebar, header and stated role. Navigation works; tables, filters, board, calendar, step chains, history and single records are rendered and inert. Orders, batches and measurements are invented.
How it would go on
Instruments and data capture
Typing measurements in by hand is the most common source of error. Connecting the instruments saves errors rather than time.
Standards and audits
What an auditor wants to see shapes the structure: evidence trails, approvals, document control and the question of who may change what.
Connection to production
Inspection orders arise from production orders. Without that link somebody creates every inspection order by hand — and forgets exactly the ones that matter.
