To ensure the high quality of finished products, the Kolomensky Plant carries out rigorous incoming inspection of incoming items. Particularly important items are inspected at a specialized pilot warehouse, where each unit, rather than a batch, is inspected—100% of all components and parts.
Incoming inspection is performed by qualified inspectors from the incoming inspection bureau. Inspections are conducted according to approved lists of controlled parameters developed by designers and inspectors. More than 100 items are inspected daily.
Incoming inspection includes a visual inspection (checking the product's appearance for defects, damage, or nonconformities) and a documentation check (checking the presence and accuracy of accompanying documents). Inspectors then enter product data into the ERP system. This allows for tracking the movement of each unit, which is especially important for warranty service and analysis of potential problems. Scanning and uploading all accompanying documents into a unified information system solves the problem of possible loss of passports and certificates.
For clarity, warehouses use a color-coded "traffic light" system for identifying parts and assemblies. Defective items are marked with a red card, acceptable items with a green card, and items "quarantined" (where correctable nonconformities have been identified) with a yellow card.
Information on defective products from all workshops and warehouses, identified not only during incoming inspection but also during production, is collected by the incoming inspection bureau. Based on reports of nonconforming products, the bureau's staff sends notifications to the supplier. Information on product nonconformity is entered into the "Astrea" module (a specialized program developed at TMH) and is also transmitted to the designers and the chief technologist's office, where decisions on subsequent deliveries are made based on this information.
