What labs want from manufacturing and engineering.
These are the records that matter most in this sector. Files that link together, over several years, are worth the most.
- CNC programsEvery feed rate someone slowed down, and why.
- CAD drawingsDesigns and every revision, tied to the part.
- Quality reportsWhat went wrong, the cause, and the fix that stuck.
- Test resultsPasses, fails and the reasons behind them.
- Maintenance logsBreakdowns, fixes and how long the line was down.
- Production schedulesWhat was planned against what actually ran.
