Manufacturing Quality Assurance

Our sophisticated quality assurance program, certified to ISO 9001:2015 standards, ensures that we uphold the highest levels of manufacturing quality. Key aspects include:

  • Rigorous Inspection and Testing: Every stage of production undergoes thorough inspection and testing for precision and reliability.

  • Advanced Measurement Equipment: We use state-of-the-art measurement equipment and calibration procedures to verify accuracy.

  • Strict Process Controls and Documentation: Detailed process controls and documentation support consistent quality and traceability.

  • Continuous Improvement: We implement continuous improvement initiatives to enhance our quality systems and adapt to evolving standards.

Primary QA Concepts

We employ advanced quality assurance processes and modern equipment to validate that components and assemblies meet exacting specifications. Our approach includes:

  • Customized Documentation: We tailor documentation to your requirements and collaborate with your engineering and inspection teams to use technology effectively, increasing throughput without compromising quality. Our case studies demonstrate significant time and cost savings, often integrated into the New Product Introduction (NPI) process, accelerating product launches with confidence.

  • Production Part Approval Process (PPAP): We adhere to this industry quality standard for approving new or revised parts so they meet your specifications and production methods.

  • Material and Finish Certifications: We provide certification that details the material's provenance and performance, giving insights into its real-life service conditions.

  • Process Capability Index (Cpk) Studies: We use Cpk as a statistical tool to measure our process’s ability to produce within customer specifications for consistent quality.

  • First Article Inspection Reports (FAIR): FAIR helps evaluate manufacturability, verify design completeness, and establish a robust manufacturing process. It confirms that design requirements are understood and that our processes and testing deliver reliable parts.

  • RoHS Certification: All products meet environmental safety standards because we comply with the Restriction of Hazardous Substances directive.

  • Quality Control Plan (CQP): Our quality control plan identifies potential issues and outlines strategies to prevent errors.
