How to Reduce First Article Inspection Creation Time by 70–90%

August 13, 2024 |

Learn how to streamline first article inspection (FAI) creation by consolidating requirements into an automated checklist, thereby reducing time by 70-90% while ensuring accuracy and compliance.

First article inspection (FAI) creation is an essential element of quality control programs but can consume a significant amount of time. In this webinar, Rebecca Keller will discuss a tool that consolidates all requirements into an accountability checklist, keeping drawing and inspection sheets in sync. Automatically capture sheet and zone and identify bill of materials (BOM) and specifications for a complete and accurate report. This software exports a professional ballooned print as a PDF and can output to your customized Excel spreadsheet.

In this session, Discus Software will go over how to reduce quality escapes that occur from overlooking requirements. Failing results are flagged in real time and any missing FAIR AS9102 data is also flagged for compliance to the standard. Easily renumber balloon sequencing and change between imperial and metric units as required by your customers. Learn how to seamlessly import your coordinate-measuring machine (CMM) data to validate each result and easily flag non-conformances. Use any CMM in your shop to create result data and automatically populate the designed tooling.

The tool to discuss will assist you in keeping up with the growing prevalence of 3D modeling in manufacturing. Using the product manufacturing information (PMI) of the model, this software extracts the geometry and notes from the model to create views with ballooned data and exports to the inspection sheet.

Agenda:

  • Error-proof each FAI for accuracy and customer approval
  • Eliminate the need for manual data entry
  • Use your CMM output to populate FAI actuals
  • Address your customer's requirement for model-based definition (MBD)
