The way your floor solves problems

One early question from shops concerns customer drawings. Those are checked in scoping, and customer-owned material can stay out.

Records that tell the story

Each part that went out of tolerance and came back into spec left a record:

Inspection data and nonconformance reports
Root cause findings and the corrective actions taken
Routings, setup sheets and work instructions
Supplier quotes and the threads behind them

The concern: customer drawings

A lot of work runs to customer drawings covered by NDA. Whether any of them may be included comes down to your contracts and your own counsel, and we offer no legal advice. Scoping checks customer-owned material, any of it can be excluded, and customer names in the copy turn into placeholders. Any work under defense or aerospace controls can be flagged and fully excluded.

Your know-how stays yours

You license a copy, not your methods. Your original records stay in your systems, and anything you see as core to the shop can stay out.

What a buyer is shown

Picture parts drifting out of tolerance on second shift. Inspection catches it, a nonconformance report is opened, tool wear on one machine is found to be the cause, and a new tool-change interval brings the parts back in spec. The buyer sees that path from symptom to fix, with placeholders for customers, suppliers and staff.

The usual fit

Fabricators, machine shops and manufacturers with 20 or more full-time staff and 3 or more years of records in an ERP, a quality system, shared drives or email. Smaller shops with a long history may qualify too.

Worth knowing

Is every system needed?: No. A quality system or a folder of work instructions can be enough to start.
Who needs to take part?: Most often the plant manager or owner, plus the person who manages file shares and your ERP.
Will this disrupt the floor?: No. Your systems keep everything, and production carries on as usual.

Making the copy

First comes an NDA. The de-identified copy comes from License Your Data, passwords are never requested, and nothing goes out until you approve a sample. Leave out whatever system, folder or customer you want. There is no cost to you.
