A supplier submitted a First Article Inspection (FAI) package for a new assembly. The prime's quality engineer reviewed the package and found discrepancies in how different types of items were documented across the FAI forms.
The supplier had incorrectly listed Commercial-Off-The-Shelf (COTS) components and detail parts on Form 2, alongside raw materials and special processes. Per the standard, Form 1 is intended to index the part itself and its constituent sub-components, while Form 2 is for materials, processes, and functional tests.
Key Takeaways
- The entire FAI package was rejected as non-compliant with AS9102.
- This required the supplier to perform a full administrative rework of the FAI forms to correctly segregate the items, delaying the product acceptance schedule.
- The supplier had incorrectly listed Commercial-Off-The-Shelf (COTS) components and detail parts on Form 2, alongside raw materials and special processes.
Best Practice
Strictly follow AS9102 definitions for data placement; use Form 1 to account for the assembly's bill of materials (sub-components, COTS, etc. ) and Form 2 for the raw materials and processes used to create those components. This distinction is fundamental for maintaining accurate configuration traceability.
