Released bracket fails the old inspection nest

Is it a checking fixture with its own drawing, or just another bracket somebody uses as a comparison? That would change who I'd ask first
22pointsProper checking fixture. Drawing exists. Its label has no revision.
12pointsBefore a new training sheet calls this distortion, I would ask quality to compare the checking fixture with the current part drawing. The old instruction may be teaching people to satisfy the wrong object.
6pointsAnd measure a released part properly. An unlabeled nest may still be the right nest.
5pointsWhat actually fails when you put the bracket in it? One locating point, or the whole shape?
13pointsRear lug will not enter. Quality measured released samples against revision F; those samples pass.
23pointsThen the old correction instruction sounds particularly expensive. Has anyone checked whether that rear lug changed between drawing versions? Not saying it did, just a fairly small comparison to make now
13pointsAsh, were those samples measured before correction?
8pointsYes. Untouched after release. Nest matches revision D, including the old rear-lug position.
0pointsThat explains why the experienced operator was quietly ignoring the nest while the relief operator followed it. Give them one agreed replacement instruction, otherwise the old habit wins whenever the updated sheet goes missing.
8pointsOld nest withdrawn. Quality issued revision F inspection instruction. Correction step removed for this mismatch, trainer briefed.
20pointsUseful find. Do not bin the old nest before its identity is marked.
