- A review of the process flow of the given part starting with raw material and moving through to shipping of the finished goods.
- Document all major manufacturing processes, quality check points, decisions, documents, and loops of the given part on a flow diagram.
- Review the flow diagram and ensure the flow diagram matches the flow of the specific part.
