information on perceptive measures are developed by the organization for additional customer feedback, such as phone
calls, e-mail, sales communications, related to customer perceptive/performance measures.
Countermeasures are developed and monitored for any unsatisfactory areas identified from the customer ratings, and
customer satisfaction expectations.
The customer satisfaction ratings are monitored, and maintained continually and evaluated for performance of the product
realization process. Customer web site information is updated monthly for key scoring criteria.
8.2.2- The organization has a procedure for performing internal audits at planned intervals to determine if the quality
management system conforms to the planned arrangements and is effectively implemented, covering all quality management
related process, activities and shifts.
Audit frequency is appropriately increased when internal / external non-conformances or customer complaints occur.
Specific checklists are developed for the audits. Corrective actions are taken on the non-conformance observed, in meeting
the planned results, during the audits. The audits also aim at determining the effectiveness of the manufacturing process, and
products.
8.2.3 Performance monitoring measures are decided for the quality management system processes. Processes performance
on each measure is measured by the concerned process owner, and measured as: Percents /$ /PPM / DPM and results
presented in Management Review Meetings.
Corrective actions are taken as appropriate when planned results are not achieved.
8.2.3.1 Process capability of each new process is studied and verified during production part approval process (PPAP).
Control plans are reviewed and revised for additional control needed, if any, based on the PPAP results. PPAP results are
documented.
The output of the manufacturing process design and development process is in the form of Operator Process Instructions.
OPIs define inspection, standards, frequencies, and methods, and other instructions to provide necessary information as
means of production measurement, test and maintenance instructions. Also includes objectives for manufacturing process
capability, validity, maintainability and availability as well as acceptance criteria.
Process control procedures established within the organization ensures maintaining manufacturing capability or performance
as specified by the customer part approval process requirement by following the manufacturing process design and
development process output documents such as process / inspection / packaging standards and other work instructions.
Significant process events are noted on the control charts and inspection records maintained for controlling the
manufacturing process.

Significant process events are noted on the control charts and inspection records maintained for controlling the
manufacturing process.
Appropriate reaction plans in the Control of Non-Conforming Product, and Corrective Action Procedures have been
developed and are followed for characteristics that are either unstable or non-capable.
The reaction plans include containment, and segregation of product, 100% inspection, and root cause analysis as
appropriate. Corrective actions plans are developed and implemented to assure that the process become stable and capable.
The plans are reviewed and approved by the customer, if required.
8.2.4 Operator Process Instructions, check sheets, and X bar & R charts have been established for monitoring and measuring
the characteristics of the product to verify that product requirements have been met.
Product releases for delivery to customer do not proceed until all the planned operations, inspections and tests have been
satisfactorily completed, unless approved otherwise by a relevant authority or via customer communications.
The O.P.I.s also includes product audit and layout inspections of products at appropriate stages of production and delivery,
and at frequency defined for each product.
Currently MSC does not have any customer requirements for appearance items. In the event this becomes a future
requirement the necessary controls, including appropriate lighting, master samples and qualifications of personnel, will be
defined.

8.3 Control of nonconforming product

A procedure for control of nonconforming products has been established, defining a system for identification, control,
evaluation, documentation, disposition, containment, segregation (where practicable), rework / repair and prevention of
unintended use of nonconforming / suspect products at various stages during manufacturing.
According to this procedure nonconforming products are reviewed by authorized personnel for action required to eliminate
cause, determine rework, acceptance without repair by waiver (through deviation from customer, if and where necessary), or
for the rejection / scrap. Reworked / repaired products are re-inspected according to the original specified requirements.
Products with unidentified or suspect status are classified as nonconforming.
Nonconforming / suspect material is placed in designated color-coded product bins at operations, and the products in the
bins containing then are visually identified.
Rework instructions are established, accessible and utilized by appropriate personnel in their work area. Reworked parts are
re-inspected prior to release. Nonconforming products are quantified, analyzed and a prioritized reduction plan instituted as
necessary.
Currently MSC does not have service, or aftermarket provisions required by customers. In the event service applications are
required, products with visible nonconformances detected will not be reworked without prior approval of customers.
Prior written customer approval is obtained whenever the product or process, that affects the final product, is different from
that approved in Production Part Approval Process (PPAP). (Ref. Also SCR-Supplier Change Request)
Quantity/time criteria for this approval is maintained. The system ensures that the product / process conforms to original or
superceding specifications on expiration of this approval. Material shipped after customer approval is appropriately
identified.
When non-conforming product is detected after delivery or use has started, necessary actions, including customer
notification appropriate to the effect, or potential effect, of the non-conformance is taken. Records pertaining to control of
nonconforming products are maintained as per relevant procedures.

8.4 Analysis of Data
The organization prepares and maintains trends in quality, productivity, delivery, cost, safety and other performance
measures. This demonstrates the suitability and effectiveness of the quality management system. The data is used to evaluate
/ identify opportunities for continual improvement of the effectiveness / performance of the quality management system.
This includes data relating to customer satisfaction, conformance to product requirements, characteristics and trends of
processes and product and suppliers.
The trends are compared with progress towards overall business objective, and appropriate benchmarks.
Key customer related trends are determined and action plans prepared and prioritized for prompt solutions to customer
related problems. The trends are presented in the Management Review Meeting, where they are reviewed along with actions
plans if necessary.

8.5 Improvement
A procedure has been established defining a method for controlling the process for continual improvement, and for
continually improving the effectiveness of the quality management system and the performance of the organization.
The continual improvement process also focuses on control, reduction of variation in product characteristics, and
manufacturing parameters. This occurs once manufacturing processes are capable and stable and product characteristics are
predictable and meet customer requirements.
All customer complaints, customer returned products, reports of product non-conformances identified during the process are
analyzed, using disciplined problem solving methods; causes relating to product, process and quality systems are
established; and countermeasures are taken to eliminate the causes.
Non-conformances observed and reported by customer if any, are responded to in manner prescribed by the customer.
The effectiveness of the corrective action is verified from the quality of subsequent product processes, or internal audits.
Wherever applicable the successfully implemented corrective actions and controls are applied to other similar processes and
products to prevent possible non-conformances.
Mistake proofing methods are used as part of corrective and preventive action process, appropriate to the magnitude of the
problem.
Trends in non-conformances observed in internal quality audits, incoming material, production process, final inspection,
customer complaint, delivery performance, process capability, vendor delivery performance, customer satisfaction index,
etc. are analyzed to determining potential non conformances and preventive action taken to prevent their occurrences.
Effectiveness of the preventive action is reviewed. Changes in quality system / processes are documented and summary of
the preventive action taken are submitted for Management Review.
Records of results of corrective and preventive actions including analysis of customer returned products are maintained.
Documented procedures established for corrective and preventive action are as follows.
