Rev: 2/14/2024

Scope: This procedure covers Forging Division post-process quality inspection.

Procedure:

STEP WHO WHEN INFO TO USE WHAT TO DO

1 QC team member After job is completed at forging level and prior to post forge inspection Production Floor Traveler Make a copy of required inspection documents, if deemed necessary; If during production there is a change of production equipment, blow pattern, or tooling, document the change on the Production Floor Traveler

2 Post Forge Helper During post-production Production Floor Traveler; parts container tags; Blueprint(s); Verify container tags; perform inspection per Production Floor Traveler; notify QC Supervisor or Post Forge Supervisor if there are any questionable parts or steps referring to "as needed" (usually grinding or stamping) go to step 2a.
NOTE: For any grinding use the Grinding Verification Log to state a visual inspection was performed on the work in process.

2a Post Forge Helper Questionable part(s) to be reworked Sample of a questionable reworked part that has been tagged and placed in the Post Forge office by the QC Supervisor or Post Forge Supervisor Perform rework using a reworked sample part; re-inspection will be required per step 3

3 QC Supervisor or Post Forge Supervisor Upon notification from Post Forge team member that parts must be re-inspected Production Floor Traveler; parts container tags; Blueprint(s); Re-inspect parts, assuring grinding or stamping is satisfactory; approve with inspection stamp; complete inspection by having container tags properly placed, Production Floor Traveler marked properly and placed in a folder in outbox. Note: a post production process is delayed until approval is given

4 QC team member
During post-production: at beginning of process, or as major changes are made Production Floor Traveler; parts container tags; Blueprint(s); Production Floor Traveler Perform random inspection, or by manager's instructions; get documented approval from QC Supervisor to omit any steps; when bad parts are found in random sampling plan, go to 100% inspection or other plan specified by QA Manager; if defective parts continue to be produced, stop the process; make Yellow HOLD tags for containers at the hammer, include job number, heat code and description of the problem

STEP 5-8 REFERS TO THE COMPLETION OF INSPECTION FOR ANY PROCESS

5 QC Inspector III Upon completing inspection of all parts in forging or post-production step Production Floor Traveler; tags on parts containers and drawings Perform random inspection of parts visually or dimensionally; use a Part Inspection Sheet for inspection data; verify that inspection step is complete, including container tags.

6A QC Inspector III If parts pass final inspection and are conforming
Production Floor Traveler;tags on parts containers and drawings If all production steps have been completed, deliver Production Floor Traveler per TOP-FINIS.

6B QC Inspector III If parts pass final inspection and are non-conforming Production Floor Traveler;tags on parts containers and drawings Write up a Rejection Notice and email to Production Supervisor and QC Supervisor and any other parties that need to be informed; Place a copy of the Rejection Notice with the parts; Tag any questionable parts or tubs with a Red Disposition Tag clearly and visually identifying who, when and why for the hold. Have parts immediately moved to MRB/Customer Return Area.

If production Traveler or QC Print identifies parts as Nuclear or states 10CFR21 (note sections 21.21 thru 21.62) applies, notify QA Manager immediately.

Note: A red tag denotes whether the parts are on hold or need rework and should be marked accordingly. The tag shall be signed and dated each time the status is changed.

7 ONCE REJECTION NOTICE HAS BEEN SENT AND PARTS HAVE BEEN MOVED TO MRB, PRODUCT WILL FOLLOW THE PROCEDURE OUTLINED IN TOP-NOCON BEGINNING AT STEP 3.
8 QC Inspector III Upon receiving Rejection Notice waiver disposition Rejection Notice waiver disposition Follow Rejection Notice instructions and buy off parts after re-work or waiver verification

9 QC Supervisor or QC Inspector III and QA Assistant After job completed QC Folder containing Shop Floor Traveler, QC Print, and Part Inspection Sheet Review QC Folder to ensure all steps have been completed; review scrap rate and Part Inspection Sheet for Non-Conforming parts; determine if a Corrective Action Report (CAR) or Internal Process Review (IPR ) is needed.
