Reverse engineering can be a complex process that requires expertise, specialized tools, and equipment. There is another term often mentioned – reengineering, how to distinguish reengineering and reverse engineering? We’ll talk about the differences between them and when should you use reverse engineering. What Is Reengineering? Reengineering, also known as business process reengineering (BPR), is a management approach that aims to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of an organization’s business processes. It involves a radical redesign of existing proce......

The compliance audit is the appropriate formula to evaluate and verify that an organization complies with all its voluntary or regulatory obligations. Compliance is important to organizations for two reasons: the financial impact of non-compliance and the need to protect the reputation and brand equity. Talking about assessing compliance involves considering too many areas. A total compliance audit could be endless if the magnifying glass is not put on strategic critical points. Verifying compliance with the ISO 37301 compliance standard should be a way to indirectly check co......

Internal auditing of quality systems is a mandatory requirement for organizations hoping to certify their management based on the ISO 9001 standard. When auditing the Quality Management System, the organization verifies compliance with the requirements of the standard. This is especially important before you get to the certification audit. The internal audit of quality systems evidences problems that can be solved before facing the external auditor and that, in fact, would be uncomfortable if they appeared at that critical moment. But internal auditing of quality systems based......

Various types of quality inspections are carried out at manufacturing sites. Pinhole inspection is also a type of quality inspection used in the field of manufacturing, but few people may understand how it works. In this article, we will explain the mechanism, types, and usage scenarios of pinhole testing. What Is A Pinhole? A pinhole is a small defect that is so small that it is not visible. A pin means a needle, a hole means a hole, and a defect that looks like a small hole drilled by a needle is called this. Whether it’s construction, food, or pharmaceuticals, pin......

In Previous articles, we explained the meaning and types of Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing (GD&T), and their differences from size tolerances. This time, we will explain Form tolerance (aka shape tolerance), which is a type of geometric tolerance. It is an important and fundamental characteristic that determines the function of the part, so please learn about it. 1. What Is Form Tolerance (Shape Tolerance)? “Form tolerance” regulates how far a shape (*) such as an indicated plane or straight line can be biased from the ideal shape. This tolerance......

To determine how accurate the circular shape should be, measure the roundness of the circular cross-section such as the axis, hole, cone, etc. Workpiece GD&T Roundness Measurement (Detection) Methods As we all know, people cannot draw a perfect ideal circle. With the advancement of science and technology, people can only get infinitely close to the ideal roundness in the process of industrial processing of parts. Roundness Refers to an indicator of the actual circle to the ideal circle variation, its tolerance band is the tolerance value t as the radius of the differ......

Are geometric tolerances important? How is it different from size tolerance? In this post, we’ll answer these questions. Differences Between Geometric Tolerances & Size Tolerances Geometric tolerances have an image that is difficult to grasp, so it seems difficult to understand. However, if you make good use of geometric tolerances, you will be able to draw good drawings without mistakes and prevent problems with transmission to the processor. In this article, we will explain the basics of geometric tolerances and why you should acquire them. If you are a design begi......

To prevent any negative impact on subsequent production quality caused by design changes, process adjustments, unplanned line stops, production changes, and line transfers, it is necessary to conduct a first article inspection during the job preparation verification and post-production verification phases. However, there are some common misunderstandings and areas for improvement when it comes to first article inspection. One common misunderstanding is that first article inspection is only necessary for new products or major changes. In reality, it should be conducted for every p......
