Quality assurance
Evidence at
every handoff.
A quality system should make the requirement, status, decision, and supporting evidence easier to follow—from incoming material to dispatch release.
Follow the evidenceOur quality position
Inspection finds outcomes. Quality assurance shapes them.
The strongest quality decisions happen before a product reaches final inspection: in clear definition, verified inputs, capable process settings, useful checkpoints, controlled status, and timely response when something differs.
Interactive quality matrix
Connect each characteristic to a decision.
Explore typical checks and the evidence they should create. Exact inspection criteria remain product- and project-specific.
Material control
Confirm the input before transformation
Establish that the material entering production aligns with the controlled product definition and remains identifiable.
Typical checks
- Material and finish identity
- Incoming dimensions
- Visible surface condition
- Quantity and batch context
Resulting evidence
- Receiving status
- Material identification
- Inspection record
- Hold or acceptance decision
Five quality gates
Place control where it can influence the result.
Definition
Approved requirements establish what acceptance means.
Incoming
Material status is decided before production use.
First piece
Initial output validates setup before continued production.
In process
Checks monitor characteristics while correction remains practical.
Final release
Configuration, condition, quantity, identity, and records close the loop.
Measurement confidence
Use the right measurement for the decision.
A number is useful only when the method, instrument, resolution, condition, and acceptance requirement are understood.
Fit for purpose
Select measurement resources appropriate to the characteristic and required resolution.
Known status
Keep calibration or verification status visible before equipment is used for acceptance.
Protected condition
Store, handle, maintain, and check instruments so condition does not undermine the result.
Recorded context
Capture the result with enough product, stage, method, and status context to remain useful.
Traceability
Connect the product to its quality story.
Traceability depth should match the product, project, risk, and agreed documentation requirement.
Identity
Product, variant, project, batch, or package context.
Process
Relevant production stage and inspection status.
Decision
Accepted, hold, rework, rejected, or released status.
Evidence
Records required to support the agreed release.
When something differs
Contain first. Decide clearly. Learn deliberately.
Identify
Make the nonconforming status visible and prevent unintended use.
Contain
Separate affected material and understand the possible extent.
Evaluate
Compare the condition with the requirement and assess consequences.
Dispose
Authorize rework, acceptance under approved concession, return, or rejection.
Verify
Check completed action before status changes or product is released.
Improve
Where appropriate, address recurring causes and update controls.
Project quality pack
Documents aligned with the confirmed scope.
The appropriate pack depends on product configuration, contract, inspection plan, and agreed submittal requirements.
Product schedule
Controlled configuration and acceptance characteristics.
Inspection plan
Agreed stages, checks, responsibilities, and record needs.
Material evidence
Applicable identity or supplier documentation where required.
Inspection records
Results generated through defined incoming, process, or final checks.
Release evidence
Authorization that agreed release criteria have been addressed.
Packing information
Package identity, quantity, product protection, and dispatch context.
Certification and standards require verified evidence.
No ISO certificate, product standard compliance, test result, accreditation, or regulatory approval is claimed on this page. Those references should be published only from current, approved Corvex documents with scope and validity confirmed.
Define quality with the project
Make acceptance clear before production begins.
Share the product schedule, governing documents, inspection needs, hold points, and release records required for the scope.
