unofactory has a documented manufacturing partner (MP) selection process that is a core competency and differentiates unofactory from its competitors.
Potential MPs can either apply to unofactory for selection or unofactory can approach potential MPs to determine if they are interested in becoming part of the network. The onboarding process starts with a basic questionnaire and then increasing rigor is applied through commercial and quality audits and the production of a complex, tight tolerance test piece. On successful completion of the test piece, the MP is conditionally qualified, although their output is scrutinized as they are ramped-up. All MP performance is tracked and reported on a weekly scorecard. The scorecard positions the MP at a ‘level’ which determines how much work they get offered as an incentive. Other controls ensure that work is offered to the most suitable MPs.
unofactory’s quality assessment includes a review of how MPs utilize control plans, including the appropriate use of SPC and other statistical controls. Additionally, unofactory assesses how MPs deal with planned and unplanned changes and special cause events. unofactory also has a requirement for its MPs to control their externally provided processes, including flowing down the requirements from unofactory as necessary.
unofactory provides manufacturing partners with a clear, standardized data package that includes customer-provided 3D models and 2D drawings and unofactory inspection sheets.
unofactory has four main methods to verify that parts meet customer requirements:
unofactory takes full responsibility for the quality of parts manufactured in our ecosystem. When a nonconformance is reported by unofactory’s Quality Control team, or by a unofactory customer, email alerts are sent to manufacturing partners in order to resolve the issue and also identify the root cause of the issue to inform the required improvement action reports.
When errors occur and the manufacturing partner submits root causes and improvement actions, we specifically look for the role the control plan plays in both the root cause of the issue and also in the solution to prevent this from recurring.
All parts manufactured with unofactory undergo inspections by our manufacturing partners, which are then verified by unofactory either in-person or remotely. Our standard inspections verify critical dimensions using hand tools and cosmetic requirements and we can also perform advanced inspections using CMM or laser scanner technologies as well as first article inspections or other customer inspection plans such as PPAP upon request.
After inspections are completed, all quality documentation is uploaded to the unofactory platform for customers to easily access at any time through the “Orders” tab of their account. Customers can also view photos of their parts taken at inspection in real-time.
