Part: SK-3301
Process: Finish bore OP-40
Specification: 42.000 +/- 0.015 mm
Special Characteristic: CC
Xbar-R chart in Q-DAS, subgroup size 5, measured with air gauge AG-40.
Measure first-off, then every 30 minutes, after insert change, and after machine restart.
If any point exceeds control limits, stop OP-40, contain last good check to current time, and notify Quality.
Cpk must remain 1.67 or greater during launch containment.
