Quality

Machine Inc.  Dependable Quality

  • Continuous Improvement: We have implemented numerous controls to prevent process errors that lead to rejects, allowing us to consistently deliver high quality machined parts.
  • In-process Quality Controls: Reduce unwanted variation resulting in less waste, scrap and reworks all contributing to the bottom line and reducing cost to our customers.
  • Informational Pipeline: Actionable information to personnel, allowing them to detect, correct, and minimize process variation in real time.
  • Customer Satisfaction: Strict attention to our machining processes assure consistent, high-quality parts, minimize rejects and enables us to provide comprehensive quality reports to our customers.
  • Meet regulatory requirements through documentation control: Comprehensive documentation enables audit-ability across our processes, and enables us to cost-effectively meet ISO, TS, FDA and USDA requirements.

Benefits

  • Minimize variation
  • Prevent defects
  • Reduce scrap, waste, rework
  • Improve manufacturing yield
  • Empower personnel with actionable intelligence
  • Promote Lean Manufacturing

In a machining environment, quality means fewer customer rejects which translates to on-time deliveries and increased customer satisfaction.  Process improvements also eliminate waste, improve flow and enhance workplace safety, all contributing to the bottom line.

We adhere to “Good manufacturing practice” or “GMP” per ANSI Y14.5 in our quality system.  GMPs are guidelines that outline the aspects of production and testing that can 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.
