Ashimori
Industry Co., Ltd.
Quality Control Standard for Ver. 6-c
AIS-F401-E Cooperative Companies Page 16/38
The parts subject to the MSA must have critical or special characteristics, and other parts may be omitted
with our agreement.
For the same system (same measurement device, same measurer), the analysis shall be conducted on the
smallest standard dimension.
For calculation method of %GRR for continuous data, there are methods of using total variation for denom-
inator called “Total variation method” and using 1/6 of tolerance for denominator called “Tolerance method”.
The Total variation method shall be used for process control measurement system and the Tolerance method
for inspection measurement system. The parts to be used for %GRR calculation shall be representative parts
of variation in process (upper/lower limit part).
For discrete data measurement system analysis, at least 3 pieces of NG parts shall be included in 25 pieces
of measurement parts. The NG parts shall not be clearly deviated parts but barely deviated parts.
The measurement systems capable of repetitive measurement are nondestructive and reproducible meas-
urements such as dimension measurement, excluding strength requirement, destructive test torque meas-
urement, assembly load and pull-out load etc.
② Judgment Criteria
a) Continuous data
・%GRR=Under 10% and ndc = min.5: OK
・%GRR=10%~30% and ndc = min.5: Provisionally OK (Justification for OK result of the measurement system
is required)
・%GRR=Over 30%: NG (Measurement system needs modification)
b) Discrete data
・Measurement part quantity: 25 pcs, Measurer: 2 people,
Number of measurement: Validity (number of OK) shall be 100% in twice of measurement for each.
9) Dimensional Results
All dimensional characteristics on drawing are applicable. The measurement sample quantity shall be 3 pcs for each
production process. (Refer to Form-4.9-a or 4.9-b)
For a part to be purchased in ASSY condition (e.g. Housing ASSY), the measurement shall be conducted on both
single component part (Housing, Guide bar etc.: Use Form-4.9-a) and ASSY (Use Form-4.9-b).
Measurement accuracy shall be 1/10 or less of tolerance specified on drawing.
10) Material Test/ Performance Test Results
10)-1 Material Test
In cases where chemical, physical or metallurgical requirements are specified in design document or the Control
Plan, the test shall be conducted on all parts and materials. The judgment criteria shall be defined (Refer to Form-
4.10-a). Material certificate shall be submitted regardless of the necessity of material test. The supplier shall con-
firm that the material described in the material certificate is same as the material instructed in the drawing.
10)-2 Performance Test
In cases where performance or functional requirements are specified in design document or the Control Plan, the
test shall be conducted on all parts and materials. The judgment criteria shall be defined (Refer to Form-4.10-b).
11) Initial Process Studies
The investigation shall be conducted for Critical Characteristics and Special Characteristics specified in 7)-1 ⑥, For
continuous data, carry out sampling with more than forty parts, the following shall be met; Ppk: 1.67 or more.
(Refer to Form -4.11-a)
For discrete data, make a decision using three hundred parts, requirement specification shall be met for all items.

Inspection items may be specified by Ashimori.
In a case where the inspection items are indiscrete values, the pass or fail evaluation criteria shall be determined
by concerning measurement variability (refer to Note) corresponding to values indicated in drawings.
Note)
In case of conducting Gauge R&R: The pass and fail evaluation criteria shall be the value subtracted one-half
of %GRR result from the upper and lower limits tolerance specified in drawings.
In case of not conducting Gauge R&R: The pass and fail evaluation criteria shall be the value subtracted the mini-
mum measurement device value from the upper and lower limits tolerance specified in drawings. However, if
there is an agreement with our company, there is no need to concerning measurement variability in places that
do not affect performance.

※1: On this Ashimori specified identification tag, suppliers lot number is indicated which is input to WEB-EDI
System. Inputting suppliers’ lot number is essential. If the suppliers don’t type in suppliers’ lot number, it doesn’t
work.
※2:Inside the OR Code, 8 items are typed in ; listing from 1 to 7 upper and “Order Number”, which is based of Ashimori
specified identification tag. A picture below is a sample.
⑨ QR Code (※4)
※3: On the identification tag, the suppliers lot number is indicated which is input to the identification tag issuing system.
Inputting suppliers’ lot number is absolute. Therefore, if the suppliers don’t type in the suppliers’ lot number, it will print
out the identification tag without the lot number.
※4: Inside the QR code, there are 8 items are set up; listing from 1 to 7 and Order Number. However, there is no Order
Number, so Order Number column becomes blank space.
The suppliers are able to select which system are going to use and issue the identification tag. The suppliers need to
handle these systems adhere to Ashimori specified ‘Identification Tag Administration Rules’ A picture below is a
sample.
2.10.3-A Procedure for Delivery of the First Product under Mass Production
At delivery of the first product under mass production, in order to distinguish the first product from old product,
