Manufacturing QA Gemba Checklist

by Pete Newbould, from the Community

This QA Gemba checklist supports manufacturing teams in conducting structured shop floor walks across milling, turning, assembly, welding, EDM, passivation, packing, stores, and QC areas. It prompts verification of works orders and drawings (Q074), materials, issued components, gauges and calibration, line clearance, housekeeping, and environmental controls. Use it to sample in-process work, confirm equipment identification, check GRNs and inventory accuracy, and assess quarantine controls. The checklist helps standardize quality audits, surface issues early, and drive continuous improvement and compliance.
