QUALITY

QUALITY IS PART OF THE PROCESS.

Every job maintains complete traceability, from material certificate to final inspection report.

ISO 9001:2015

Our quality management system covers enquiry through to dispatch. Certification details shown in this demonstration are fictional.

Material traceability

Grade, supplier, purchase order, batch and heat number are recorded against the material and carried onto the job.

Calibrated inspection

CMM, optical measurement and hand equipment are calibrated on recorded intervals with certificates held on file.

Drawing control

The shop floor only ever sees the currently released revision. Superseded revisions stay available for audit, marked OBSOLETE.

Inspection documentation

FAI, inspection reports, certificates of conformity and subcontract certificates are issued with the delivery.

Supplier control

Subcontract finishers are approved, monitored and required to return process certificates against our purchase order.
