PRODUCT IDENTIFICATION AND TRACEABILITY

1 PRODUCT IDENTIFICATION ANDTRACEABILITYO perational Procedure: OOP-08-01 Rev.: APg. 1 1 1 of 3 DISTRIBUTION__ President__ Purchasing__ Human Resources__ Design Engineering__ Service__ Quality Assurance__ Production__ Marketing__ Quality Control__ Production Engineering__ Sales__ Production Areas__ Materials Control__ Contracts__ Office AreasYour LogoHere Written by: Original Issue Date: Approved by:Date: Approved by:Date:IPURPOSEThe purpose of this procedure is to provide for a system and instructions for productidentification and procedure applies to materials, components, subassemblies, and other productsintended for incorporation into the final products sold by company NAME Inc., andto the final products procedure concerns directly Design Engineering, Purchasing, Materials Control,Production, and Quality Assurance PRODUCT purchased materials and components are identified with unique numbers, codes, ornames.

2 The IDENTIFICATION is the same as is used in drawings, specifications, bills ofmaterials, part lists, purchase orders, possible, subcontractors are required to identify the products they supply byappropriate marking, labeling, or tagging the products and/or packaging. The receivingclerk verifies that products are properly identified (refer to Procedure QOP-10-01 Receiving Inspection). If the subcontractor applied IDENTIFICATION is not appropriate oradequate, Materials Control is responsible for appropriate marking of and components are identified by marking, labeling, or tagging the packagingor containers holding them, and when appropriate and practical by labeling the productsOperational Procedure: OOP-08-01 Page 222 of 3 Revision: APRODUCT IDENTIFICATION AND TRACEABILITY themselves.

3 Products may also be identified by general IDENTIFICATION of an area dedicatedfor storage of particular PRODUCT . Materials Control is responsible for designatingappropriate methods for PRODUCT and component IDENTIFICATION is maintained while the products are in storageand/or are staged for production. Effort is also made to maintain the IDENTIFICATION duringproduction, however, this is only necessary when PRODUCT IDENTIFICATION is not obvious, , when products can be confused with other similar material TRACEABILITY is required, material and component IDENTIFICATION ismaintained throughout all stages of Manufactured PRODUCT manufactured products, and in particular finished products, are identified inaccordance with customer requirements.

4 For standard products and when the customerdoes not require any specific IDENTIFICATION and marking, Design Engineering and/orMaterials Control are responsible for specifying finished PRODUCT IDENTIFICATION requirements with regard to PRODUCT IDENTIFICATION and marking are specified incustomer engineering documents and in QS-9000 Section III, of finished products and the corresponding IDENTIFICATION record are verifiedat final inspection (refer to Operational Procedure QOP-10-03 Final Inspection). , process, and/or operator TRACEABILITY is maintained when it is a contractualrequirement. When required, purchased materials are identified and are traceable to theirpurchase orders, and thereby to their inspection, testing, or process regard to Special Characteristics, products are identified and are traceable to theirprocess control charts, and thereby to the processes and operators that manufacturedthem.

5 The charts identify process equipment, process operators, and provide processperformance data. With regard to other characteristics, products are traceable to theirproduction work orders. Work orders also identify process equipment and operators, butdo not provide process performance and TRACEABILITY in-house designed products, Design Engineering maintains records correlating eachissued part number to corresponding drawings, specifications, technical data, and otherdocumentation defining the products that are assembled from numerous parts, Materials Control maintainsOperational Procedure: OOP-08-01 Page 322 of 3 Revision: APRODUCT IDENTIFICATION AND TRACEABILITY PRODUCT configuration records. The records correlate production periods, batches ofproducts, or individual products with the bills of materials and parts lists used in theirmanufacture and TRACEABILITY is required, Materials Control maintains (or coordinates) the traceabilityrecord.

6 The record usually consists of material purchase orders; material inspection,testing and/or process certification; process charts; and PRODUCT inspection and the purpose of TRACEABILITY , the work order associates specific purchase orders,process control charts, and inspection reports with particular production runs and batchesof DOCUMENTS- Receiving Inspection Oper.
