The quality assurance reports are handled completely by the QA manager who must verify and proof all data and give dated signature of approval on any official forms.

No report may be sent without the approval of the Quality Assurance Manager and no shipment requiring these reports may leave our plant without them.

Exceptions may only be granted by the president or QA manager.

In these cases, a shipment may be allowed to leave without a QA report if the report will be faxed to the customer before the shipment arrives. The report may also be submitted by someone given the authority to do so by the president or QA manager.

It is the shipping manager responsibility to insure that the report is properly forwarded with the shipment.

In addition to being sent with the shipment, a copy of the reports may also be faxed on the day of the shipment at the customer request.

The QA manager will always retain a copy of any official report for at least 3 years.

Samples of the different report formats are shown in figures 2 through 16. Please also refer to the ‘TURBO SPC VA SOFTWARE’ topic under section 6.2 for more on the DataMyte graphical and statistical reports.
