A special process refers to a production or manufacturing procedure where the final product’s quality cannot be confirmed through standard inspections or testing after completion. This means that the outcome cannot be verified without using destructive methods that would compromise the product. As a result, the process must be rigorously controlled and validated to ensure that it consistently meets the required standards.
The purpose of this article is to provide guidance on how to implement a system that manages Special Process in line with AS9100/Nadcap requirements.
