Any rework must be recorded for input into process control program (ie. you can't fix a problem if you hide it's effect.) ______________________________ Reply Separator _________________________________ Subject: J-Std-001B work cell touchup Author: [log in to unmask] at esdigate Date: 5/9/96 9:53 AM We are reviewing converting Mil-Std-2000A and some old 454 contracts to the J-std-001. Also all new contracts would require this spec. We have a team of 8 people from different facets within our organization looking at a matrix of differences as well as questions of intepretations. I would like some input on defect observation from people in industry. If you work in a work cell environment with TQC checks and someone in the work cell catches a defect do you count that defect or do you count it when it is discovered in the next work cell. An example would be at the wave solder machine how do people feel about the acceptability that hand touchup done within the wave solder cell without recording it as rework is permitted? I guess we're expanding our debate outside of our 8 person team and would like your input. Thanks, Suzanne Nachbor [log in to unmask]
