Fill this in and hand it over. It says what changes, what you need, and what they will see.
A record to fill in: what to write in each field
| What is changing | Every order screened for first article triggers; inspection planned from the ballooned drawing before the part is made; a readiness review before every first article; first pieces on evidence; every package reviewed before it is signed. |
|---|---|
| Why now | Your own reason: rejected first articles, late first shipments, an audit finding, a busy launch schedule. |
| What I need from you | Ninety minutes to chair each readiness review; the authority to say No go; a second qualified reviewer for packages. |
| What you will see in 90 days | First articles approved first time, tracked monthly; no first article signed with an open nonconformance; every partial on one log. |
| First readiness review |
The Word and fillable PDF handbook give you this as a form with space to write.
