Risk hubs • Measurement
Most pass/fail disputes are measurement disputes. This hub shows how to align CTQs, methods, decision rules, and reporting so receiving is frictionless.
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.

True position failed only at certain tilts. Root cause traced to rotary-axis geometry error and post/kinematic mismatch. Fix used ISO 230‑7 style verification and orientation sweeps.

Rejects appeared late in the batch. Root cause was wear-driven cutting regime change shrinking stability margins. Fix used wear gating plus EWMA/CUSUM drift detection.

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.
For near-limit characteristics, we can include an uncertainty-aware decision-rule statement (guard bands) so supplier/customer results remain consistent.
Yes. If you share your template during RFQ (or after NDA), we can map our evidence pack fields to your receiving workflow.
We reduce this risk by documenting datum interpretation, probe strategy assumptions, and decision rules, and by aligning critical methods during first article where required.
Send an RFQ package (NDA first if needed) with your drawing/model, material/finish, quantity, CTQs, and evidence requirements.
