Procedure:

STEP WHO WHEN INFO TO USE WHAT TO DO
1 Anyone receiving bolts, paint, springs, pins, weld consumables, customer supplied tooling, or "other" raw materials that are to be used as part of the finished product Upon receipt of bolts, paint, springs, pins, weld consumables, customer supplied tooling or "other" raw materials Accompanying paperwork; visual inspection Notify Machining Department Supervisors of bolts, springs and pins; Machining Department Material Handler of paint; Materials Manager of weld consumables; Machining Departent Supervisors of "other" raw materials; Machining Department Clerk of customer supplied tooling via phone, e-mail or personal contact; keep all accompanying paperwork together with the item unless directed otherwise by Machining Department Crib Attendant or Machining Department Material Handler; sign packing list
2 Machining Department Material Handler, Materials Manager, or Machining Department Supervisors Upon being notified that bolts, paint, spring, pins, weld consumables or "other" raw materials have arrived for use on finished product Information obtained during notification; visual inspection of item and/or paperwork; contact with supplier; Purchase Order Match item to Purchase Order; direct item to proper receiving/ inspection area along with accompanying paperwork; update Purchase Order to partial or complete status
3 Anyone receiving Primary, Critical, Flight Safety parts, assemblies, or customer supplied material Upon receipt Primary, Critical, Flight Safety parts, assemblies, or customer supplied material Accompanying material certs; Production Floor Traveler; own knowledge Notify Machining Superintendent of the need to inspect and classify the incoming Primary, Critical, Flight Safety parts, assemblies, or customer supplied materials.
4 Machining Superintendent Notification of need for inspection of materials received Accompanying material certs; Production Floor Traveler; own knowledge Inspect and verify material and classify as Primary, Critical, Flight Safety ; have material moved to designated area according to classification and received per TOP-MOPPP.
NOTE: STEPS 5 THROUGH 12 ARE BROKEN OUT FOR THE SPECIFIC "OTHER" MATERIALS WE RECEIVE. REFER ANY NOT LISTED TO Machining Department Supervisors.
5 Machining Department Material Handler Upon receiving springs for use on gate valve assemblies Accompanying paperwork; part drawing Check at least ten springs from each container for: dimensional and geometric compliance; perform visual inspection for pits, rust and cracks; check for discoloration (should be bright, silvery and shiny); verify the reported certifications are within the material specifications; forward certifications to Machining Department Supervisors; enter into Other Raw Material Inventory System unless problems are found; if problems are found, initiate Raw Material Non-conformance Procedure (TOP-RMNON); put springs in storage unless there is a problem
6 Machining Department Supervisor Upon receiving certifications for springs, for use on gate valve assemblies Certifications File certification
7 Machining Department Material Handler Upon receiving pins for use on gate valve assemblies Accompanying paperwork; Purchase Order Check at least ten pins from each container for dimensional compliance, pits, rust and cracks; if problems are found, initiate Raw Material Non-conformance Procedure (TOP-RMNON) put pins in storage unless there is a problem
8 Machining Department Crib Attendant/ Machining Department Supervisors Upon receiving bolts for use on tamping tools Accompanying paperwork; Purchase Order Match container label with Purchase Order; check at least ten bolts from each container to verify that they fit the tamping tool (if available) while doing a visual inspection for cracks; enter into Other Raw Material Inventory System unless problems are found; if problems are found, initiate Raw Material Non-conformance Procedure (TOP-RMNON); put bolts in storage unless there is a problem

11 Materials Manager Upon receipt of materials certifications Accompanying paperwork; Purchase Order Have material certifications scanned for traceability retention. Certifications stored in archives for minimum retention then destroyed (per TOP-DOCUM).
12 Machining Department Material Handler Upon receipt of customer supplied tooling or fixtures Accompanying paperwork; Purchase Order Forward customer packing list or shipping authority to Machining Department Clerk to be filed as evidence of receipt of customer supplied tooling and/or fixtures..
NOTE: STEPS 13 THROUGH 17 ARE BROKEN OUT FOR THE SPECIFIC "SHELF LIFE" MATERIALS WE RECEIVE. REFER ANY NOT LISTED TO MACHINING BUYER

14 Machining Superintendent, QC Supervisor Upon receiving shelf life materials Received material; accompanying paperwork; Certification if required; applicable specifications Identify material with label specifying date received and shelf life expiration date per applicable specifications and requirements; Material stored in proper location as required by applicable specifications and material label; Route paperwork and certifications (if required) to Calibrations Clerk for entry into Gage Control System for tracking and filing.
15 Calibrations Clerk Upon receiving shelf life material paperwork or certifications Material paperwork and certification if required Enter material received into the Gage Control System for tracking purposes; Scan paperwork to put into material file in Gage Control System; Enter shelf life expiration date to notify when the material has reached its shelf life date; When notified that the material has reached its shelf life through the system, notify the Machining Superintendent or QC Supervisor to dispose of material; Verify that the material has been disposed of.
16 Anyone Upon use of shelf life material Material and material label Verify material is within shelf life dates prior to use; if material is out of date notify Machining Superintendent and QC Supervisor: DO NOT USE MATERIAL BEYOND SHELF LIFE
17 Machining Superintendent, QC Supervisor Upon notification that material is beyond shelf life Material and material label Ensure material is disposed of properly and have new material ordered if required.
