Quality Inspector

Role & responsibilities

1. Train operators: Teach operators how to check their own parts and write clear daily inspection reports.
2. Check paperwork: Double-check the "First-Part" setup reports and daily patrol sheets to make sure the floor checks are being done right.
3. Do random checks: Walk around and check random parts at each machine to make sure their sizes (dimensions) are right and there are no visual defects like cracks or scratches.
4. Verify machine papers: Check that every machine has the correct part drawing, tool sheet, and inspection plan before starting.
5. Check route cards: Check and sign the batch route cards every time a machining step is finished.
6. Manage tools and gauges: Give operators the right measuring tools and make sure the gauges are calibrated and not expired.
7. Stop bad production: Stop the machine immediately if you find a bad part, and lock away the affected batch so it does not mix with good parts.
8. Guide part tagging: Teach operators how to put Red Tags on rejected parts and Accepted Tags on good parts.
9. Check the last part: Inspect the very last part of a batch to make sure the cutting tools did not wear out or drift during the run.
10. Clear lines between batches: Clean and check the machine area during a batch changeover so old parts or old drawings do not get mixed up with the new batch.
11. Count and log scrap: Count and write down the number of good parts and rejected parts for every batch to keep track of total waste.
12. Do last piece inspection: Inspect the final piece right after a batch production is completely finished to officially close out the batch.
