General Responsibilities:

Quality at the Source:  It is the responsibility of each individual working in manufacturing to confirm the grade and type of material are correct per engineering documentation and that the raw material is dimensionally correct and free from damage prior to beginning work at their station.  If discrepancies are identified, it is again the responsibility of every individual to bring those discrepancies to the attention of their supervisor or QA personnel at the time that the issue is identified.

Each operator is responsible to confirm dimensional accuracy of every workpiece prior to delivering that material to the next sequential operation.  This includes the use of calipers, micrometers, bore micrometers, and any other specialized tools required to confirm that the workpiece meets the intent of the engineering documentation.  If discrepancies are identified, it is again the responsibility of every individual to bring those discrepancies to the attention of their supervisor or QA personnel at the time that the issue is identified and work with those individuals to clarify ambiguity or identify root cause of the discrepancy.  It is the responsibility of every individual to check the routing prior to delivering material to their internal customer.  That material is expected to be clean, free of chips, excess coolant, and sharp edges.

It is the responsibility of each individual working in manufacturing to leave their work area clean and organized for use by the next individual or shift.  If a reasonable standard is not met it is again the responsibility of every individual to bring those discrepancies to the attention of their supervisor.
