Consistency comes from control, not from hope. The difference between a supplier who ships the same part twice and one who does not is usually visible in the planning stage, long before anything is measured.
How the control works
- At quoting — tolerance, finish, material and documentation requirements are captured.
- Before production — an inspection plan identifies critical features and how they are held and measured.
- During production — operator checks at defined intervals, with first article approval on new tooling.
- Before shipment — independent final inspection, documentation assembly and packing to protect the finish.
- After shipment — records are retained against the order so questions can be answered with data.
Documentation we can supply
First article inspection reports, dimensional reports, material certificates, finish certificates and certificates of conformity. Tell us which of these your project requires when you request a quote, so they are scheduled with the order rather than added afterwards.
