FOCAL POINT of Contact: Quality Control Managers/Supervisors Roles & Responsibilities
1. Perform regular inspections of work and line stock areas as required.
2. Return back logged operations to Manufacturing/Maintenance when determined operation is not FOD free.
3. Properly report all FOD and Tool noncompliance.
4. Investigate and document root cause for quality generated FOD incidents.
5. Implement corrective action to prevent future occurrences for quality generated FOD incidents.
6. Perform area close out inspection and close FOD reports prior to transferring aircraft/assemblies to next Manufacturing/Maintenance area.
3.2 Compliance Measurements
The operational target in any FOD Prevention Program should always be "zero" to enable visibility to problem areas and trends, provide management and workers with inspection results, incident/mishap reports, and feedback of progress. Methods providing this information are:
1. Visibility Charts - statistical graphics derived from audit or incident data. Usually provided on an isochronic schedule, i.e., weekly or monthly.
2. Trend Analysis - Where have you been? Where are you going?
3. Report Card - a checklist of areas routinely inspected that shows specific problem areas.
4. Performance Review - a review of worker conformance to standards or expectations.
5. Customer comments, concerns, or complaints.
Workers need specific information about what is wrong before they can be expected to improve processes. Let them know when they're doing well or when they're not. Feedback is vital to process improvement.
