Have you ever done a first article inspection?

Post by BeNotDeceived »

Once upon a time,

I witnessed a first article inspection

but have never performed one myself.

What experience do you have. :?:

What type or article.
Ive done lots of Electronic boards, and assemblies.
Basically check everything that is in the specifications to determing if it is suitable.

All features are present and all dimensions are set correctly.

Mostly it's done at an incoming inspection station,

by a Quality Control or Quality Assurance type person.

The worst is when management expects you to do it on your own work. How are you supposed to be your own set of 2nd eyes?

I agree with you!
Checking dimensions teaches about significant digits, which relates to proper understanding of what is meant by About the Space of Half an Hour, such as described in posts findable by searching keyword ASHH.
