| a1 |
Post-Forge Supervisor |
As required by Looking in
Process Plan Jobs Info or at Post-Forge
Supervisor discretion, at least monthly |
Process Plan in Jobs Info |
Decide to double-check
authorized heat treater's hardness |
Perform in-house hardness
testing per TOP-HARDT |
| a2 |
Post-Forge Supervisor |
Completion of TOP-HARDT |
Heat treater's certs; Trinity
hardness inspection sheet; yellow copy of QCIO |
Compare heat treater's hardness
results to in-house results |
Determination whether or not we
agree with heat treater's results |
| a3 |
Post-Forge Supervisor |
If in-house results do not agree
with heat treater's |
Determination from previous step |
Inform QA Manager of
results via hardness inspection sheet if they fail. |
