A supplier submitted a First Article Inspection (FAI) package for a complex assembly. During the customer's quality review, discrepancies were identified on Form 2, which covers product accountability for materials and special processes. The form appeared complete at first glance but contained misplaced or incorrect data.
The review revealed that required traceability numbers for raw materials and special process certifications were either missing or placed in incorrect fields. For example, inspection tooling identifiers were entered in fields designated for Certificate of Conformance numbers, and consumable materials required by the engineering definition were omitted entirely.
Key Takeaways
- The FAI package was rejected due to non-compliance with the AS9102 standard.
- The rejection required the supplier to allocate resources to correct Form 2 and resubmit the entire FAI package, leading to delays in product acceptance.
- The review revealed that required traceability numbers for raw materials and special process certifications were either missing or placed in incorrect fields.
Common Mistakes
- The review revealed that required traceability numbers for raw materials and special process certifications were either missing or placed in incorrect fields.
- Incorrect or incomplete Form 1 part number traceability.
Best Practice
Ensure personnel are thoroughly trained on the specific field-by-field requirements of AS9102 Form 2. A robust internal audit process should verify that all materials and special processes are accounted for and that their traceability numbers are accurately recorded in the designated fields.
