Quality requirement definition
Contract quality clauses, inspection levels and acceptance criteria mapped before procurement.
06 — Quality & TraceabilityTraceability
Traceability
at every step.
Quality requirements are defined before an order moves forward — and the evidence that they were met travels with the hardware.
Documentation defined around your requirement.
The records a program needs depend on the contract, the part and the source. LIGHTNX defines them up front — certificates, inspection data, lot and serial traceability, packaging records — and assembles them into a complete delivery record reviewed before shipment.
Scope
Certificates & material records
Certificates of conformance and material certifications requested from the source and reviewed on receipt.
Lot & serial traceability
Lot, date-code and serial data captured and linked to the order record.
Counterfeit-avoidance practices
Preference for original manufacturers and authorized channels; additional verification where independent sources are used.
Traceability record
One part. One unbroken record.
Select each stage to see what is captured. Identity — part, lot and serial — stays attached from source to shipment.

Quality chain
Controls from requirement to program record.
Each step is performed by LIGHTNX or flowed down to, and confirmed with, the qualified manufacturing partner doing the work — as defined for each order.
- 01RequirementQuality clauses, inspection and test criteria captured at technical review.
- 02Supplier qualificationSources assessed for capability, quality system and documentation before selection.
- 03Incoming documentationCertificates of conformance and material certifications reviewed on receipt.
- 04Production controlsWorkmanship, drawing revision and process requirements flowed down to the builder.
- 05Inspection & testVisual, dimensional and electrical verification results recorded against the criteria.
- 06Nonconformance handlingDiscrepancies documented, dispositioned and closed before shipment.
- 07Material & lot traceabilityPart, lot and serial identity linked through each stage.
- 08Shipping documentationPacking, labeling and certificates assembled per order requirements.
- 09Program recordThe complete package retained with the order for later reference.

What to bring
- Contract quality clauses
- Inspection & test requirements
- Traceability requirements
Start with a non-sensitive overview. Controlled technical data is exchanged only through the authenticated Program Workspace.
What you receive
- Certificates of conformance
- Material & inspection records
- Lot / serial traceability record
- Delivery documentation package
Supplier quality-system certifications are verified per order where the requirement calls for them.
