CONTROL OF MANUFACTURING
Process requirements are established by Young Industries' Product Engineering Personnel and our Director of Engineering. Special manufacturing processes are transmitted to Manufacturing and to the Quality Control Manager via the Shop List, Bill of Materials and by Detailed Drawings. Processes which are not within our in-house capabilities are contracted to sub-contracts. Typical items addressed are:
-
Customer Specifications
-
Surveillance Requirements
-
Customer Inspection
-
ASME Code Requirements
-
Certified Material Test Reports
-
Tolerance Ranges
-
Control of special processes (like Welding, Heat Treating, NDE, Testing, etc.)
Maintenance of Process Control capabilities is accomplished using the Non-Conformity Report Procedure 700.002.00 (please refer to Section V111, Paragraph D), Product Testing assessment, and Product Inspection.
ASSURING SYSTEM OPERABILITY PRIOR TO SHIPMENT (FULL SCALE TESTING, ECT.)
Where practical and when environmentally and economically feasibly, full scale performance testing is conducted when required. System component testing may be conducted in place of full scale testing to verify operability at final assembly.
Purchased equipment's operability is verified by testing assembled components at final inspection. Typical testing consists of the following:
-
Electrical energizing of components (e.g.: Motors, Control Panels and Motion Switches)
-
Pneumatic Testing of components (e.g.: Actuators, Butterfly Valves, Knife Gate Valves)
During testing, typical items inspected and verified are:
-
Relief Valve Settings
-
Motor Amperage
-
RPM
-
Speed Switch Adjustment
-
Total Indicated Run-Out
-
Excessive Vibration
-
Oil Leaks - Binding
-
Travel Stop Adjustments
-
Component Timing and Correct Function
-
Flow Indication
