Quality assurance
Quality Control
Incoming, in-process, inspection, test, and final-release controls tailored to the project risk.
Quality is a production route
Define checkpoints before the first build
The supplied process description references IQC, IPQC, and OQA controls together with SPI, AOI, X-ray, ICT, and FCT resources. The correct combination depends on board complexity, component packages, test access, application risk, and customer acceptance criteria.
What this means for your project
Three layers of production evidence
Material and setup
Approved materials, incoming checks, stencil, programs, profiles, fixtures, and first-article approval.
In-process verification
Printing, placement, soldering, polarity, hidden-joint, workmanship, and electrical checkpoints.
Final release
Functional acceptance, records, labeling, packing, and shipment approval.
