Upon request we can perform a First Article for customer evaluation before production begins.

Inspection documents are then recorded and saved for traceability.

Project documents are maintained through our server and include; Machine Setup and Programing, Ballooned Drawings, Specification and Inspection Sheets, Material Certs and Job Purchasing requirements. Items are collaborated through our ERP System with latest revisions and dates managed at Job Startup. Archive folders are used to keep record of previous Setup, Program, Drawing, and Specification revisions.
How do we maintain Shop Floor process?
During Quote process we use our ERP system to establish material, routing, and outside processes required to complete parts to customer’s specification. Once work is created, any updates are reviewed and changes made to estimating document. Shop Floor Travelers, Ballooned Drawings, and Inspection Sheets are used for revision and process verification, lot number separation, and will follow components through delivery.
