Your quality control program must implement your approved
quality control manual. The quality control manual must provide instructions,
procedures, and assign responsibilities to assure quality control requirements
are met when the recreational park trailers are manufactured. The minimum
quality control manual requirements are:
(1) An organization chart which identifies
quality assurance positions and describes quality control responsibilities and
accountability for the following plant personnel: General manager, plant
production manager, plant foreperson, lead persons, production, quality
control, sales, engineering, purchasing, and receiving staff;
(2) A method to distribute all comprehensive
design plans and installation instructions or other documentation that ensures
all products used are installed correctly in all recreational park trailer
models produced at each manufacturing location;
(3) Procedures for maintaining the quality
assurance of each recreational park trailer model;
(4) Drawings and procedures displaying
manufacturing processes including a schematic plant layout;
(5) Descriptions of production stations,
including surge-hold stations, on-site or offsite repair-rework locations, and
off-line construction sites. Descriptions should identify by station and
location the work, tests, or inspections performed and the job title of the
person performing the quality control review;
(6) Inspection and equipment maintenance
instructions, including jig maintenance, check-off lists, and other
documentation verifying quality control performance and
accountability;
(7) Coordination of
staff duties ensuring smooth transition of manufacturing responsibilities
during the shift change;
(8)
Instructions regarding the identification, control, and handling of damaged
goods or materials that do not comply with existing rules and ANSI;
(9) Information about recreational park
trailer material storage and environmental control including protection from
the weather and the elimination of scrap and age-dated materials which have
exceeded their life;
(10)
Verification that testing equipment is properly calibrated and that your gauges
are accurate;
(11) Information
about production line testing which includes descriptions of procedures, test
equipment, and the location of each test. The information should demonstrate
accountability for test completion, for rework and repair, and for
retesting;
(12) Instructions,
procedures, descriptions, and responsibilities for insignia storage, security,
application, and inventory;
(13)
Procedures for mixed production lines, for variable production rates, for new
or substitute personnel, and for new or changed inspections and
tests;
(14) Instructions,
procedures, and responsibilities for keeping recreational park trailer records
which include the unit serial number, model, plan approval number, dealer
location or destination, insignia number, inspection, and test
results;
(15) Information about
your quality control training program; and
(16) Procedures for introducing new designs,
models, materials and equipment to staff that ensures products are built
according to the standards and the manufacturer's instructions.
