A customer reached out for support regarding a crack found on a part that was on the assembly line. The piece was returned for investigation at M&P. After review of the part history and the nature of the defect, it was determined that the raw material condition was not within specification prior to the forming operation. As a result, the material failed in subsequent processing. From this, solutions were presented to the supply chain to prevent this issue from happening again.
