At Sunstar Precision Forge Limited, quality is built into the process—not just verified at the end. This series continues to highlight the individuals who ensure that every component meets defined standards at every stage of production. Suraj Singh Poonia, working as an In-Process Quality Inspector in the Machine Shop, represents this commitment on the shop floor.
His role revolves around real-time quality control during production. From conducting line inspections to giving setup approvals, Suraj ensures that machining operations remain within defined parameters. His responsibility also extends to controlling rework and minimizing rejection, making his role critical in maintaining process stability and efficiency.
In-process quality is about preventing defects before they occur. Suraj regularly performs dimensional and visual inspections, verifies gauges as per SOPs, and closely monitors critical parameters during production. His proactive approach helps identify potential deviations early—before they turn into larger quality issues.
When a deviation is detected, immediate action is key. Suraj follows a structured approach—informing the supervisor, stopping the machine, isolating the affected parts with proper tagging, and ensuring corrective measures are taken before restarting production. This ensures that non-conforming parts do not move forward in the process.
Reducing rejection is not just about inspection—it’s about focus and anticipation. Suraj begins his shift by identifying critical parts and dimensions that are prone to variation. By increasing inspection frequency at these critical points and coordinating with operators, he helps maintain consistency and reduces the chances of defects.
