1. Quality is made, not checked. The first impression of the on-site review is, how is the on-site consolidation going? A clean and tidy environment will make workers happy, have a good attitude, and their sense of responsibility for products will also be enhanced. Raw materials, good products, waste products, tools, all have their own place, not panic, not chaos, right there. Production workers, on-site QC, have their own goals, not panic not chaos, but also there.
2. After the first impression, we get to the topic. Here we review suppliers for materials that have certain requirements for quality and hygiene.
In the infrastructure, the equipment and maintenance of the production equipment will not be repeated. It is recommended to observe the pest and rodent prevention facilities on the site, whether there is a fly control lamp installed, whether there is a sticky mouse board placed, whether it is in normal working condition. Are UV lamps or ozone generators installed as required? Are UV lamps managed? How often will it be replaced? How is the lighting throughout the work area? The lighting requirements of the inspection area and post should be slightly higher than that of the normal work area.
3. Walking on the production site, we will go through a production line, then it is recommended to go close to see whether there is a standard product or a standard book, work instructions, etc., on the production line, some companies will also set up a special sample placement area. What I prefer to do is to catch an on-site QC, ask him how to conduct the first inspection, how to inspect, and then look at his inspection record at that time, whether to do it or not, and whether it is good or not. If possible, you can also randomly record the job number or name of the site worker and QC at this time. At the manufacturing site, it is also recommended to record the items, batch numbers and suppliers of raw materials used on the site.
4. After we have passed the workshop, we will enter the laboratory. All kinds of experimental equipment in the lab, always make me a little excited. First look at whether the necessary equipment is equipped, which is also a requirement for the reviewer himself, he must have a certain understanding of the product, know the critical control points of the product. Secondly, it is necessary to see whether the testing instrument is in an effective verification and calibration cycle, and it is necessary to check the corresponding report. Generally, in the laboratory, standard operating methods will be posted next to the equipment or instruments. We can invite the experimentors to explain or demonstrate, on the one hand, to confirm the reliability of the test method, and on the other hand, to understand the experimentors' familiarity with the instrument.
5. Another place that needs to be visited during the site review is the warehouse. 5S activities, storage of materials, batch management, visual management, a lot of information can be seen here. First of all, are there certain requirements for the storage and preservation of materials, such as humidity, temperature and stacking height? Are there testing instruments and records? Are good and bad products separated in the warehouse? I do not advocate that the area must be divided, the site conditions are limited, you can also use sign management, as long as the effect of differentiation can be achieved. Is there a ledger for the supplies in the warehouse? Are there any materials provided by customers, and how are these materials managed? Are there inspection status markers for production materials? Is first-in first-out management implemented and how? At this time, it is recommended to randomly record the batch number of raw materials and finished products for use.
6. After walking through the site and entering the conference room, the next stage of paperwork inspection began. This is where the information recorded in the field comes into play. Using this information, we can understand the development of the daily quality management of enterprises. Through raw materials can be extended to supplier management evaluation, material storage inspection, nonconforming products treatment; Through the finished product can understand the traceability management of the enterprise; Through personnel, you can view the enterprise's management of human resources, personnel's job requirements, qualifications, training records, etc.
