Inputs required
Controlled drawing and critical characteristics · Available measurement systems · Quantity and risk context · Customer documentation requirements
Manufacturing · Inspection
Inspection should answer a defined acceptance question.
A measurement is useful only when the characteristic, datum scheme, method, uncertainty and acceptance decision are understood.
The problem
What this solves.
Inspection activity exists, but the method, datum strategy, measurement capability or documentation does not reliably support acceptance.
When to call
Call for inspection planning, measurement-method review, gauge or fixture definition, first-article evidence, MSA or supplier-quality acceptance.
How work is verified
The measurement system is fit for the acceptance decision and records remain traceable to part, revision, method and result.
Execution
What SharpSigma does.
The work follows the specific requirement—not a generic checklist. Each step produces an output that can be reviewed and verified.
- Translate drawing intent into inspection strategy.
- Review datum simulation, access and measurement method.
- Assess measurement-system risk and repeatability.
- Define sampling and documentation requirements.
- Coordinate nonconformance and disposition evidence.
