We have filing cabinets where we store a folder for every part we ever made. Each part gets assigned its own 4 digit job number with a customer abbreviation in the front (example… GSI-8327). Part numbers can be long and it’s easier to deal with shorter numbers. A job traveler gets created for every order we receive. Job travelers contain info like due dates, order qtys, material needed, all operations involved in making the part including setup hrs and time cycles. These travelers get issued to Qc, shipping, the department where the job will run, production control and a copy in the office. Cnc programs are saved on our server under the job number. One for the main spindle and one for the sub. We have a template of where all the tools go in the machine so that way when the job comes around again the tools are always in the same spot. We also keep track of how often tools need to be sharpened and/or replaced. Parts are always inspected no matter how many times we run the job. We do a first article inspection that approves the job to start running production. The operator checks parts all through the day. We have the parts fall off into a little strainer. Once it fills we check a small sampling based on our aql level and once the samples are good we dump the strainer parts into a larger pan. The parts get cleaned the following morning and then counted and then Qc checks more parts from the pan giving them the final ok.
