 To demonstrate conformity of the product
 To ensure conformity of the management system and
 To continually improve the effectiveness of the quality management system.

Parameters for measurement and the stages of measurement shall be identified and a plan indicating the parameter to be
measured, targets, statistical tool to be used for measuring/monitoring, is prepared. This shall form the basis for
measurement and monitoring. The procedure for Advanced product and Quality Planning 02 P 01 and Control plan
methodology 02 P 04 explains method of adopted to plan for conforming of the product quality. Procedure for Internal
Audit 17 P 01 & Management Review meeting 01 P 01 explains method adopted to plan tp measure & monitor the
conformity of Management System. Procedure 13 P 01 & 14 P 01 explains method adopted to measures and analyse the
for product conformities.

Aditya shall identify & Implement suitable Statistical Techniques to provide a scientific base for decisions with regard to
inspection, testing production activities, problem resolution issues, evaluation of sub-contractors. Procedure 20 P 01
explains different statistical techniques being applied suitably in the company. Also these Statistical analyses of data is
done to establish control and to drive improvements in case of customer perceptions analysis, product development and
problem solving.

8.1.1. Identification of statistical tools


Statistical tools are identified from the statistical process control (SPC) plan during advance quality planning. This is
included in the control plan and also from the documented procedure 20 P 01 for measuring, monitoring & analising the
performances.

results are not achieved, correction and corrective action is taken as appropriate to ensure conformity of product
AAP has established a procedure to monitor and measure on regular basis, the key characteristics of Operations and
activities that can have significant impact on the environment. This also includes recording of information to track
performance, relevant operational controls and conformance with the Organizations Environmental objectives & Targets.

8.2.3.1 Monitoring and measurement of manufacturing processes

Process studies on all new manufacturing process are performed by, documenting & establishing a suitable procedure for
process control and maintenance activity. The details procedure for process control 09 P 02 explains. Aditya maintains
Process capability or performance as specified by the customer part approval process requirements.

Suitable system shall be established to ensure that the control plan and process flow diagrams are implemented as per
 Measurement techniques
 Sampling plans
 Acceptance criteria
 Reaction plan when acceptance criteria are not met.

The details of processes changes shall be recorded for its effective date and records.
