First article inspection workflows that guarantee quality and compliance

Q: What is a first article inspection workflow?

It's a structured process that verifies part conformance before production, with full documentation, approvals, and traceability.

Q: How does Process Street support FAI?

We turn the FAI checklist into a task-based workflow, with roles, approvals, and audit-ready logs enforced by Cora.

Q: Can we align workflows with AS9102 or ISO 9001?

Yes. Templates can be customized to match any standard, and audit logs are generated by default.

Q: Can inspectors upload measurements and photos?

Absolutely. Capture dimensions, annotations, photos, and notes directly in the workflow.

Q: Does this work with supplier parts and external vendors?

Yes. Use shared workflows or internal processes to review, log, and approve supplier FAIs.

Q: How long does it take to get started?

Most teams are up and running in under a week with templates, no-code tools, and onboarding help.
