The Quality Control Workflow SOP outlines a systematic approach for inspecting manufactured items, starting with sample selection and visual checks, followed by laboratory testing if necessary. It includes a conformity check against engineering drawings and an inspection of product features before making a decision on batch approval. Non-conformances are recorded, and corrective actions are initiated if any issues are identified.

Quality Control Workflow – Standard Operating Procedure (SOP)
Step 1: Selection of Sample
Randomly pick an item from the manufactured lot. Ensure the sample is representative of the overall batch (use statistical sampling if necessary).
Step 2: Initial Visual and Dimensional Check
Perform a basic visual inspection for defects such as dents, scratches, cracks, paint issues, etc. Conduct dimensional verification using measuring instruments (calipers, micrometers, gauges, etc.) to ensure physical specs align with tolerances mentioned in the drawing.
Step 3: Laboratory Testing (if applicable)
Send the sample to the quality lab for specific material or performance tests such as: o Tensile strength o Surface finish o Coating thickness o Weld integrity
Step 4: Drawing Conformity Check
Retrieve and review the latest approved engineering drawing for the product. Cross-verify each design parameter (dimensions, hole placements, notches, thickness, bends, welding points, etc.). Use a QC checklist to ensure no aspect is overlooked.
Step 5: Product Feature Check
Inspect functional features of the product such as: o Assembly compatibility o Movable parts (if any) o Fit & finish o Load-bearing sections o Alignment and squareness
Step 6: Decision Making
Compile results from lab tests, visual inspection, and drawing conformity check. If the item passes all checks, approve the batch for dispatch. If the item fails any stage: o Record non-conformance in the QC log. o Inform Production for rework or rejection. o Initiate a Root Cause Analysis (RCA) for repeated failures.
