QPI
is an ISO 9002 certified company. This guarantees that we have a
consistent and effective quality system in place to meet our
customers' quality needs. We place great importance on defining
and documenting these needs for each part at the beginning of a project in order to
minimize the learning curve once production is underway.
Mold and machine set-up and operating conditions are part of our
controlled documentation system. Manufacturing quality and
inspection forms are displayed at the press together with sample
parts and contain all the relevant information required for our
press operators and quality inspectors to determine part
consistency and quality. We work with our customers to
establish appropriate SPC and SQC requirements.
All of our parts are inspected in-house and specifications are
verified with a Coordinate Measuring Machine (CMM).
Quality issues that do arise are
thoroughly investigated, documented, and corrective actions are initiated. The results are
discussed at company communication meetings in order that everyone can learn from the
experience.
Part quality is very much dependent on
the condition of the mold. At the end of each run, we clean, inspect, lubricate, and spray the mold
with rust preventative. Last shots are retained and inspected.
If necessary, mold repairs are initiated before wear degenerates
into a quality issue. Molds are stored on racks in a climate-controlled environment.
