The production process quality control sounds a lot like the Subsafe/Level 1 procedures for submarine hull fittings. After the USS Thresher went down, new procedures were put into place including the tracking of material to be manufactured into equipment and valves that would be installed on the pressure hull of the sub (think 24" seawater suction or 4" ballast tank blow valve) from ore to refining to ingot to formed material, the program tracked it all.

Im glad it came across that well. I'm guessing there are different levels of standards depending on the importance of the part? Or is that same standard applied across the board?

Subsafe inspection required every piece be tested/inspected. Level one was a percentage of the batch depending on the size of the run. Subsafe was up against the hull, Level one was on the other side of the fixture to the system
