Benefits

Minimize variation
Prevent defects
Reduce scrap, waste, rework
Improve manufacturing yield

Promote Lean Manufacturing

Having AS9100 and ISO9001 Certification, plus our FAA-PMA approval, we strictly adhere to our quality system. The good manufacturing practices that outline the aspects of production and testing can greatly impact the quality of machined parts. Although there are a number of them, all guidelines follow a few basic principles.

Machining processes are clearly defined and controlled. All critical processes are validated to ensure consistency and compliance with specifications.
Machining processes are controlled, and any changes to the process are evaluated and documented.
Instructions and procedures are written in clear and unambiguous language.)
Operators are trained to carry out and document procedures.
Records are made, manually or by instruments during machining that demonstrate that all the steps required by the defined procedures and instructions were taken and documented.
Records of a machined part that enable the complete history of a batch to be traced are retained in a comprehensible and accessible form.
