Shop Drawing Validation Program

Quality · Process Design

Governed a dedicated validation team, verification tools, and SOPs to catch shop-drawing defects before they reached production.

Post-production issues

79%→7%

Artifacts

Selected outputs from the project — videos, generated drawings, code, and stakeholder decks.

SD Validation Dashboard — tracks validation-team progress and performance ratings, splits results before/after the wiring-started assembly stage, and surfaces non-conformance reasons against shipped sales-order lines.

Project Charter (Rev 01) — business case, scope, deliverables, milestones, key risks, and success criteria signed off at kick-off.

SD Verification Checklist used by Production Analysts on every order — 19 mechanical + electrical checkpoints from section view through driver compatibility and SP notes.

Problem

79% of orders surfaced post-production drawing issues — rework, scrap, and customer escalations were the norm.

Approach

Recruited and trained a cross-functional validation team
Built verification tools that compared generated drawings against the configured BOM
Wrote SOPs codifying what 'production-ready' means for every product family
Instrumented Jira ticket flow so misses became feedback into PRJ-02

Outcome

A repeatable quality gate that turned drawing validation from heroic firefighting into a measured, sub-10% exception process.
