Procedure For Production
1. SCOPE
This procedure covers all roles, responsibilities, and authorities related to the Production
process at XXX.
2. PURPOSE
This procedure identifies and establishes plans for production processes that directly affect
product quality. It is designed to ensure that these processes will be carried out under
controlled conditions.
3. REFERENCE DOCUMENTS
A quality plan is a document, or several documents, that together specify quality standards,
practices, resources, specifications, and the sequence of activities relevant to a particular
product, service, project, or contract.
These are the processes, results of which cannot be fully inspected and ensured after the
completion of the process.
6.2 Coating
Degreasing: This is the first stage, removal of oil, grease and other unwanted
contaminants like dirt from the surface.
Water Rinse – 1: In this stage, a proper water wash is performed. Whenever
components are degreased, they should be rinsed.
Derusting: In this stage, rust and scales are removed from the component by means of
acid solution.
Water Rinse – 2: In this stage, a proper water wash is performed as the derusting
process is followed by one or two water rinses to remove all traces of acid.
Phosphating: In this stage, the clean surface of the component is coated within a thin
layer of phosphate or chromate salt by using a phosphating.
Water Rinse – 3: The above operation is followed by one or two water rinses.
Passivating: After the surface of the phospated component is chemically cleaned, the
Components are dipped into a solution of hot chromic acid for a period of 12 to 24 hrs,
which tends to passivate the phosphated surface and protect it from rusting until the
components are ready for painting.
Incoming products are received and physically verified by Storekeeper based on P.O as
per procurement procedure.
Incoming raw materials are verified/inspected/tested for receiving inspection to
ascertain conformity with specified requirements by Store QA/QC.
Store QA/QC prepares as QC plan according to which the products are regularly
inspected. A QC plan form is necessary.
Material not in QC plan Form are verified / inspected in accordance with purchase
order specification/details to ascertain conformity with specified requirements by QC
or concerned department.
Extent of incoming inspection is planned on the basis of control exercised on the
supplier’s usually quality of works. They may be accepted on the basis of:-
Scrutiny of test certificate / documentation furnished by supplier or
Sampling inspection or
100% Inspection
Incoming products that are verified to be conforming to specified requirements are
released to stores and records of inspection are maintained indicating approval
authority.
Products found non-conforming are clearly labeled and segregated.
Procurement officers contact the concerned external provider regarding their non-
conforming products.
The QC plan describes the stages during processing of a product at which inspection /
verification for conformance is necessary, details and extent of checks are defined in
the QC Test Plan.
In-process inspection may be carried out by:-
Patrol inspection.
Sampling inspection of specified quantity at specified intervals.
When results of in-process inspection are satisfactory, the products are allowed to go
to the next stage after details are recorded in QC Plan Form and authorized.
When results are not satisfactory, the process is stopped for investigation and
correction before restarting the production process.
Products are identified for inspection status as per Product Labeling and Identification
and records are maintained.
6.3.3 Final Inspection
Products are taken up for final inspection after QC ensures that the product has passed
all previous tests of in-coming and in-process stages satisfactorily.
Final inspection is based on sampling plans as per quality test plan.
Products found conforming are so certified, identified for inspection status and
released for dispatch. Results of Inspection are recorded in Pre-Dispatch Inspection
Report.
When contractually required, Test Certificates are issued to the customer.
Products found non-conforming are labeled, segregated and are recorded in NC
Register and concerned employees are notified for review and remedial action.
Records of final inspection of various products are approved by Store Manager &
QA/QC and the records are maintained.
6.5 Maintenance:
6.7.1 HANDLING:-
Following equipment are provided for convenient and safe handling of product at all
stages:
Hydraulic Trolley.
Overhead cranes.
Pallets .etc.
Necessary care is taken during handling of products, so as to ensure no damages.
Conditions of stock are periodically inspected to detect deterioration, if any was found.
Timely corrective action should be implemented as per Procedure for correction and
Corrective action
6.7.2 STORAGE
Records are maintained for receipt, inspection, acceptance and issue of Material.
All stored products are identified clearly for easy accessibility.
Fire extinguishers, checked at regular intervals, are available for use in case of
emergency.
6.7.3 PRESERVATION
Precautionary measures for storage of raw materials, spare parts, packaging materials
etc. are taken to preserve quality of product and protect against deterioration due to
environmental factors like humidity and dust.
The finished products which can be affected by environmental condition are preserved
by plastic / tarpaulin covering, during wet season and sand storms.
