CAPA Details
Problem definition and evidence baseProblem Statement
Customer complaints identified dimensional variation on the shaft diameter of a machined component.
Containment
Stopped shipment of the affected batch and performed 100% dimensional inspection.
Root Cause
Tool wear was not being monitored using a defined replacement limit and process capability was not reviewed by shift.
Corrective Action
Introduced tool-life limits and mandatory first-piece verification after tool change.
Preventive Action
Added SPC monitoring and weekly review of Cp/Cpk for the critical diameter.
