Quality Brief

Week of October 20, 2026 · Monday 6:00 AM

93% first-pass test yield this month. Two jobs need rework, one customer's failures are a pattern, and a warranty return lands Friday. Three to get ahead of.

Needs attention — quality
Vanguard Utilities — W651Rework
Failed final surge test after rewind — shorted turn in one coil group. Back on the rewind bench, not out the door.
Customer was promised Thursday; flag them now if it's going to slip.
Surge
failed
Redstone Minerals — U929Pattern
3rd bearing failure this year on the same slurry-pump line. The motor keeps testing clean — the problem is upstream of it.
Recommend an alignment check in writing. A rebuild won't hold without it, and the paper protects you.
3rd
same line
Harbor PetroleumWarranty return
Vertical hollow-shaft, 150 HP — coming back Friday on last spring's rewind. Could be the repair, could be the application.
Pull last spring's test sheet and teardown photos before they arrive — have the record in hand.
