Calibration Recall 3.5

Theres nothing worse than halting production because a tool is in for calibration. Through proper planning and advance notification, you can schedule calibration during off-peak periods. Calibrated equipment is expensive and essential for your production line. To maintain confidence in its accuracy, you must know where it is and where it has been. When a tool is found out of tolerance, you must identify affected product and determine whether the suspect tool could have allowed defects to pass. Every piece of equipment has a unique life span that must be documented. Historical information is essential for tracking status, evaluating future performance, and meeting audit requirements.
