Risk hubs • Cleanliness
Particles, burrs, and residues cause receiving holds. This hub covers cleanliness specs, inspection gates, packaging, and shipment controls that prevent contamination escapes.
Use the lines below to make sure your RFQ/PO includes the evidence needed to eliminate this risk.
If you only do one thing: align the CTQs + decision rule + evidence pack format before first article. Most receiving disputes come from ambiguity, not capability.
Use these links to evaluate capability and corrective-action maturity before placing a PO.

Semiconductor-adjacent case study: parts passed dimensional and visual checks but failed particle extraction after transit. Root cause was latent burr fracture and packaging-induced micro-motion. Includes corrective actions and evidence pack.

If your receiving team uses specific forms, share them during RFQ—SEMIX can map fields 1:1. Otherwise, start with the templates below.
In global supply chains, “quality” is often judged at receiving. A clean evidence pack reduces back‑and‑forth, speeds approvals, and protects schedules.
These templates are print‑to‑PDF and designed to be adapted to your PO flow‑downs.
A burr can survive early checks but later fracture due to handling or transit vibration—creating particles downstream. We place verification gates to eliminate this risk.
Yes. Share your cleanliness/outgassing/handling expectations during RFQ (NDA if needed) and we will map controls and evidence to that flow-down.
Yes. Photo evidence can be included as part of the evidence pack when cleanliness or cosmetic risk is high.
Send an RFQ package (NDA first if needed) with your drawing/model, material/finish, quantity, CTQs, and evidence requirements.
