  Sub-Contract Measurement

The requirement for subcontract inspection is more than getting results reported.                  

Of any Process Failure Modes Effects Analysis – it is found that a failure in an inspection process has a high severity rating because its effects are instant and costly.

      Production is affected immediately.

      Parts unable to progress to the next operation without inspection affect production plans.   

      If a delay occurs at final inspection, there is less opportunity to absorb the impact within the remaining process therefore shipments are directly affected.           

 

Delivering possibilities

Because of the effects an inspection problem can cause, The aim to give an immediate decision regarding the feasibility of an enquiry. This is normally at the point of enquiry.

Initial enquiries can be processed quickly with established data.

Information that can be processed now will reduce delays at the time of quoting.

 

Delivering solutions

The ability to quote quickly and accurately is fundamental to providing a project on cost and on target. The benefits are mutual; the customer is able to confidently start a recovery plan and TMS have a controlled cost. We fully understand the impact subcontract inspection has within a process. We are committed to delivering a reliable service.

 

Delivering Support

Absenteeism when planned can normally be managed internally with overtime and slight increase in labour costs. Unplanned absenteeism however has very similar affects as those listed above. Response from us to such enquiries can be as simple as putting a man onsite providing an instant solution.

Delivering Training

Employment of a new operator may generate the need for additional training. In some cases an existing operator may need assistance to measure an unfamiliar part Training can take place at customer premises using readily available parts and cooperation with production planners will allow us provide valuable “on the job training”. However, to support customers that do not have capacity for a training course to take place utilising the CMM we also offer courses at both Derby and Telford. In all cases the course can be designed to meet specific requirements.
