AFSCI21-104 covers industrial process levels, process benchmarking and control, process characterization, change management, and risk management. It describes the technical engineering authority for the production machine and establishes roles for an industrial process control program.
Applies to: It applies to industrial processes at Ogden Air Logistics Complex, Oklahoma City Air Logistics Complex, and Warner Robins Air Logistics Complex, as well as any geographically separated units that are organizationally aligned to the air logistics complexes.
IPC is defined as the method of ensuring that an industrial process is predictable, stable, and consistently operating at the target level of performance with only normal variation.
IPC application to level 4 processes is not required and may entail some modification to the IPC structure.
Level 1 includes processes that modify end items such as paint, welding, machining, disassembly, assembly, plating, plasma spray, shot peen.
IPC enables quantitative process benchmarking and control, allows for understanding of acceptable variation within the process, and serves as an avenue for future improvement within these boundaries.
Assure establishment and maintenance of an IPC program.
