The bore is 12.03 mm. Can I release it?

No. It’s 0.01 mm over the limit. Tag it red and log it for the quality engineer, per procedure QP-4.

Can this part be reworked?

Yes. Oversize bores can be sleeved under rework instruction RW-12, with engineer approval.

Who approves rework on night shift?

The on-call quality engineer listed on the shift board. Hold the part until they approve.

Example conversation

The problem

When a measurement is close to a limit, the decision to release, rework or scrap must follow procedure. Inspectors on night shifts often have no engineer to ask. Inconsistent decisions create escapes to customers or unnecessary scrap.

Who uses it

Inspectors and operators at measurement stations and in the quality lab.

What you train it on

  • Quality procedures
