Reject against the drawing.
Any dimension on your drawing with a tolerance is a reason to send a part back. We built the shop that way so we find the problem before you do.
Applies to dimensions and notes on the drawing revision named on the PO, reported within 30 days of receipt.
Between the rack and the box.

Nonconformance, by the hour.
Found, by us or by you. The lot is tagged and held.
A phone call and an NCR number.
Root cause, in writing.
A remake date, and the freight both ways is ours.
The corrective action is printed on it.
Calibration.
Every gauge has a record and a due date. An outside lab calibrates each one every 12 months, and operators check against standards before each shift. A gauge past due is tagged out, not used.
