When FAIs need hands-on support — first builds, measurement activity, evidence capture, or cross-functional coordination — NQ can deploy experienced Quality professionals to your site to compile and close FAI packs in real time.

This service is ideal for:

• NPI / first-off builds where evidence must be captured correctly first time

• FAIs requiring shop-floor access, inspection coordination, or CMM support

• High priority parts where delivery risk is increasing

• Teams needing an extra pair of hands to keep production moving while FAIs are completed

What we do on site

• Lead the FAI process from kick-off to submission-ready pack

• Confirm revision control and applicable customer requirements

• Create/verify ballooned drawings and characteristic accountability

• Coordinate measurements (including CMM reports where applicable)

• Capture and organise objective evidence as it is generated

• Verify traceability (material/process certs, heat/lot linkage, special process evidence)

• Maintain a live FAI tracker and manage actions/blocks daily

• Apply an internal review gate before submission to reduce rework and rejections

The outcome

A controlled, compliant FAI process that produces a submission-ready pack, reduces back-and-forth, and helps protect OTIF and programme delivery.

Delivery options: On-site, hybrid, or remote — depending on measurement access, site constraints, and customer requirements.
