These uality Assurance plans are documents to be strictly adhered to. uality Control Incoming inspection guarantees that only material and procured components meeting the strict requirements are used. To make sure that only material of impeccable quality are passed on, nonconforming parts are conspicuously marked 'rejected'. Final inspection is the conclusive testing instrument to ensure that only conforming components are dispatched and this is documented in inspection documents. It is the responsibility of in-process inspection to check the execution and correct measurements between the individual manufacturing steps. uality Inspection Inspection activities are carried out by trained quality professionals. Most advanced technologies are used for non-destructive material tests on components. The inspection is supervised by trained NDT professionals.
