Control plan
Inspection should follow the part’s functional risk.
Identify critical features during drawing review and agree measurement methods, sampling, and report format. The quality-control overview explains the review and shipment checkpoints. If your drawing or specification requires NDT or other specialist testing, include the required method, acceptance criteria, inspection extent, and reporting requirements with the RFQ. Feasibility, the responsible provider, and the agreed scope must be confirmed before quotation.
IP
In-process inspection
Datums, machining stock, key dimensions, hardness, setup approval, and process checkpoints.
FA
Final dimensional inspection
Critical dimensions, geometric controls, threads, roughness, and drawing-defined acceptance.
VI
Visual & workmanship review
Casting defects, burrs, sharp edges, finish appearance, cleanliness, marking, and handling damage.
FN
Functional checks
Assembly fit, gauge checks, pressure, movement, torque, leak, or other agreed application tests.
PK
Packing verification
Quantity, identification, corrosion protection, separators, labels, crate condition, and document match.
Technical evidence before production
Inspection planning
Match the method to the tolerance and feature geometry.
A sound plan considers measurement access, datum simulation, equipment capability, uncertainty, sampling, and how the customer will review the result.
✓Calipers, micrometers, height gauges, and bore gauges
✓Thread gauges and functional fixtures
✓Complex geometry: confirm CMM or optical measurement needs and the responsible provider
✓Hardness, coating thickness, and roughness: agree measurement methods and provider
✓Visual standards and approved reference samples
✓Dimensional reports, certificates, photos, and traceability
Practical workflow
Quality gates from material receipt to export packing.
1
Plan the controls
Identify critical features, methods, frequency, records, and responsibilities.
2
Verify during production
Measure early enough to prevent repeated nonconforming output.
3
Complete final release
Confirm drawing, workmanship, finish, marking, quantity, and documentation.
4
Link records to shipment
Keep reports, lot identity, labels, and packing information traceable.
Deliverables & controls
A documentation package aligned with the purchase order.
Document the technical basis so purchasing, production, inspection, and shipment use the same requirements.
Dimensional inspection report
Critical or full-layout results according to the agreed sampling and report format.
Material and process certificates
Chemistry, mechanical properties, heat treatment, coating, and other process records as required.
Nonconformance and approval records
Document deviations, disposition, rework, and customer authorization before shipment.
Packing and shipment evidence
Photos, counts, labels, crate information, and final document checks for export orders.
Frequently asked questions
Questions buyers ask before release.
Use these answers as a starting point. Final acceptance criteria should be tied to the drawing, purchase order, and approved technical record.
Can you provide full dimensional reports?
Yes, when the report scope, ballooned drawing, sampling, format, and first-article requirements are defined before quotation.
Do you support third-party inspection?
Third-party witnessing or inspection can be coordinated when the scope, timing, access, and cost are included in the order requirements.
How are critical dimensions identified?
They can be marked on the drawing, listed in the RFQ, or agreed during review based on fit, safety, sealing, load, and assembly risk.
Can inspection records be linked to each batch?
Yes. Traceability level should be specified, including heat, lot, serial, pallet, or shipment-level identification as appropriate.
