RFQ MEETING
The RFQ Meeting will consist of the related project managers, engineers, QC and the GM. Other people from different departments may be invited to the meeting depending on the need for various expertise and experience. The meeting members will begin a "brainstorming session" during which they will review all product details given by the customer to determine if there is enough information available to provide a fair and accurate quote in a timely manner. Every effort will be made to proceed based on the available information so as to not delay the quoting process. A question list, price quote and effective suggestions on specifications may be provided to the customer after the meeting.
KICK-OFF MEETING
Kick-off meeting is to ensure the samples can be successfully made at one time and are good to go for production process. During the meeting, the team will review the specifications with gameplay, artworks, samples, quality guidelines, etc. Individually and evaluate the challenges that may occur on materials, production process and testing. The firm will revert to the customer if there are any further questions with cost-effective solutions.
PRE-PRODUCTION MEETING
The Pre-Production Meeting is a single meeting or series of meetings that are to be a controlled and organized environment for developing products with a problem-preventative approach. The meeting attendees may include: project managers, engineers, production manager, the experienced QC or others who can contribute to the specific needs of the project.
The Pre-Production Meeting is geared towards the detailed development of the PSS/QAP (Product Specification Sheet and Quality Assurance Plan). The goal of the Pre-Production Meeting is to bring all necessary parties together for a focused development of the critical documents and processes:
A.MANUFACTURING PROCESS FLOWCHART a free form document either sketched by hand or computer generated which is a general overview of the processes needed to manufacture a product and used to further develop the PFMEA.
B.PFMEA FORM (Process Failure Mode & Effects Analysis) -results from this document are used to further develop the IQC, IPQC and PSI Checklists, as well as the PSS/QAP.
C.QCC, IQC, IPQC, AND PSI CHECKISTS - during the Pre-Production Meeting process (there may be more than one Pre-Production Meeting), these documents are continuously edited.
RAW MATERIAL INSPECTION
The goal of the Raw Material Inspection is to ensure that the incoming critical raw materials or purchased components are not used or processed until they have been inspected or otherwise verified as conforming to the most current version of the PSS/QAP (Product Specification Sheet and Quality Assurance Plan) Document.
This is accomplished by the Production Team according to established professional QA practices to ensure a high level of quality control of the entire lot and similar to the samples inspected. Required testing shall be conducted according to the IQC Checklist.
PROCESS INSPECTION
Work-In-Process
The goal of the Process Inspection is to ensure the Work-In-Process product does not advance to the next process until it has been inspected according to the PSS/QAP (Product Specification Sheet and Quality Assurance Plan) Document. Our QC will record the Inspection Quantity, Production Quantity, Defective Quantity, and all other Comments / Actions Taken as outlined in the IPQC report.
FPA (First Production Approval) Meeting
The purpose of the FPA process is to review all aspects of the New Product initial production to ensure it complies with the PSS/QAP, Mechanical Drawings, Final Pre-Production Sample (PPS) and any other Customer requirements. It is also an appropriate time to discuss the overall PSS/QAP and QA Plan for the product including Product Compliance and Certificate of Compliance (COC) issues and make any necessary final arrangements to implement and/or make any needed changes.
The first time any New Product is manufactured, a formal meeting known as First Production Approval (FPA) will be held between the Product Manager (PM) and/or Quality Assurance Engineer (QAE), the assigned experienced QC and production manager. No fresh QA is allowed to be assigned for FPA and first production run inspection.
The assigned experienced QC shall perform a complete inspection of the First Production samples (FPS) against the most current version of the PSS/QAP, closely reviewing any Drawings and the approved PPS to verify that the new product is in full conformity and complete compliance. In addition, any variations should be noted and required revisions to the specifications. The Quality Assurance Engineer (QAE) should give support to this inspection and oversee all other testing, unless it is not reasonably possible.
The outcome of the FPA Meeting are the FPA Sample Inspection Report and the approved FPA samples.
Final Inspection for Each Component
Final inspection for each component will be taken to ensure the highest quality before the final assembly process. QC team will conduct final checks such as appearance check, function check, size check, reliability testing check, and safety check according to the PSS/QAP (Product Specification Sheet and Quality Assurance Plan) Document.
FINAL ASSEMBLY
Our firm has strict assembly and inspection SOP specifically designed for each game. Our QC team will conduct inspections on the assembly line to ensure efficient and successful production.
PRE-SHIPMENT INSPECTION
The goal of the PSI inspection process is to ensure that finished product does not leave our factory for shipment until it has been verified as conforming to the latest version of the PSS/QAP Document. The inspection is performed by pulling a statistically significant number of random samples and inspecting them according to the Acceptable Quality Level (AQL) and the inspection criteria detailed in the QCC PSI Checklist or QAP section of the PSS/QAP in order to gain a high level of confidence that the quality of the entire lot is similar to the samples inspected.
As soon as at least 80% of the packaged product is available, QC team shall draw samples randomly from the shipment lot according to the sampling plan for inspection. QC team should have on hand the latest controlled hardcopy version of the PSS/QAP, as well as the approved PPS and/or other alternate approved samples for the item being inspected. The PSI inspection shall be conducted for each shipment.
