Documentation is what makes a good part provable. It is also the first thing a customer audit asks for — so it is designed into the order, not assembled afterwards.
Documentation requirements are agreed when the order is placed, so the right measurements are taken and the right records kept while the parts are made — the only time that evidence can actually be captured.
Our European engineering partner Tubacon GmbH in Germany can participate in on-site audit meetings, so an audit question does not wait on a time zone.
