Sounds like there may be a people problem somewhere in your process. We have a couple of checks set up to aid with capturing first article issues. First, of course, the kit is checked against the BOM to ensure that all of the parts match. Then, we

You might also want to consider process repeatability cross profile performance over time and energy consumption. Also reliabilty is effected by shift usage etc,. Eg could have oven that might appear reliable in one context but not overall. Ie total
