SPECIAL PROCESS PARTS
A special process in manufacturing according to the ISO 9001 standards is defined as any process that could change a part’s material elements or physical integrity.
Most of these processes are necessary for completion. Although there’s no way to verify the product after this type of process without proving its function through use or completing a destructive test.
A special process in manufacturing is a process that puts some kind of stress on the product or part of the product due to mechanical, chemical, or thermal operations.
Who completes a special process?
Special processes are often extensive and need specialized equipment and qualified personnel to complete them. Due to this, many special processes are unable to be completed in-house or are too complicated to waste time trying to do yourself. Subcontracting special processes save you time and money. Also, further training for operators and costly additions to your process is not needed.
