Our business operations are guided by an ISO
9000:2000 compliant Quality System that we manage &
audit internally. Above and beyond this, however, our system
has been tailored around a set of specific issues that affect
us, as a custom manufacturer of a wide range of blueprint
detail items.
These issues are:
- Ensuring that parts are made to the
correct drawing file or blue print revision!
- Meeting quoted lead-times and expediting
rush orders ASAP!
- Ensuring that all material inputs
are identified and traceable to the Material Supplier!
- Ensuring that all measuring devices
are calibrated to NIST standards and capable of measuring
parts to required tolerances!
- Fully inspecting all key part dimensions
for each customer order!
How do we address these issues?
Issue "a" is addressed by:
Verifying that the quoted drawing file or blueprint is the
correct revision before releasing a customer order for manufacture.
Issue "b" is addressed by:
We utitilize a powerful manufacturing software application
called Vista that enables us to schedule, route & track
job orders in real time. This allows us to quickly evaluate
how our capacity is being utilized so we can expedite rush
orders or put a priority on job orders that are approaching
their due date.
We also access the system to provide our customers with quick
feedback on order progress!
Issue "c" is addressed by:
We accomplish this by requiring all of our material suppliers to adequately mark each stock piece they ship to us.
¤ We provide Material Certification per customer request!
Issue "d" is addressed by:
This is accomplished by making sure that all of our master
gages are calibrated on a scheduled basis by accredited measuring
& inspection labs. Then, all other in-house inspection
equipment is checked for accuracy against our master gages.
Finally, calibration and verification data is maintained in
a Gage Calibration software application.
Issue "e" is addressed by:
Many of our job orders are unique and fairly complex, which
requires that we inspect every part dimension for accuracy.
