Traceability
Each work order number identifies specifically the part number and lot number of each component that is in the kit. If there are not enough of any one part number/lot number to fill multiple kits, then a new work order is entered, reflecting the new lot number that was used. In that way, we can always tell exactly what part/lot combination is in any kit we deliver to our customers.
Inspection
The first inspection is done to ensure all certifications for all kit components are correct and, if applicable, correct manufacturer has been allocated.
Inspections are done at various stages throughout the kit process to ensure that all documentation, labels, etc., are correct.
Prep Station
Prep station clerk verifies that all parts have been pulled.
A kit folder is created, containing a kit list and all certifications. The kit administrator then verifies that all paperwork is correct and ensures that any discrepancies are corrected. This kit folder is used as a reference throughout the kit process and all applicable information is recorded within.
Assembly/ Build
Kit is assembled, labeled, and packaged in shipping containers for inspection.
The kit is then inspected to ensure it is packaged and labeled per customer specifications and all documentation is in order.
Bulk Inspection
Bulk inspector checks the certs, labels, kit list, and parts. All inspections and discrepancies are logged.
Kit Book
The Quality Administrator creates a new Kit Book, assigning a Kit Number to the kit. The Kit Book includes the Bill of Materials and all documentation, including the customer contract, purchase order, and all logs for that kit.
