Define the evidence required to accept the part.
Inspection is most useful when it is tied to the technical requirement and the risk of the part—not added generically after production. SharpSigma clarifies required acceptance evidence as part of the quote/order.
Define acceptance before release.
- Applicable drawing/specification revision
- Critical and special characteristics identified by the requirement
- Inspection scope and reporting expectations
- Material / process documentation where specified
- Functional or fit checks where applicable
Inspect what controls acceptance.
The inspection plan should reflect drawing requirements, critical characteristics, risk and the evidence the customer actually needs—not inspection for its own sake.
Discuss Inspection Scope →Handle issues against the requirement.
- Product identification and containment when nonconformance is found
- Clarification or deviation approval before accepting departures
- Re-inspection / verification after correction where applicable
- Root cause and corrective action for repeat or material issues
- Objective evidence used to support closure
Documentation must answer a question.
Dimensional reports, material evidence, certificates or capability data are defined because they support acceptance, traceability or risk control.
Discuss Quality Evidence →Make documentation part of the order.
- Dimensional / inspection evidence where specified
- Material or process certificates where specified
- Traceability requirements when explicitly required
- Revision-controlled acceptance criteria
- Customer-facing issue ownership remains with SharpSigma for the quoted supply requirement
Confirm the route before commitment.
Process route, source capability, material, tolerances, inspection and documentation are confirmed against the actual requirement before SharpSigma commits to the order.
Discuss the Requirement →Need certification or audit readiness too?
SharpSigma also supports IATF 16949:2016 and ISO 9001:2015 implementation/certification readiness, VDA 6.3 process-audit readiness, FMEA, Control Plan, APQP, PPAP, SPC, MSA, internal audits and training.
Quality Systems & Certification Readiness
Build the system, close the gaps, train the team and prepare the evidence required for the external audit or customer assessment.

Share the part/process context, critical characteristics, required inspection or documentation, quantity and timing. Controlled drawings and specifications can follow through the technical-file transfer path.
