Our approach
Quality control is part of the process
A non-conformity found at the end of the production cycle is a cost; the same anomaly caught straight after soldering is useful information for improving the process. That is why checks are not concentrated at the end, but spread along the whole production cycle.
Line operators check the result of each operation they perform, the quality control department visually inspects the finished boards and the testing area verifies that they work. When an anomaly occurs, production is stopped and the causes are analysed before work continues.
Being a compact organisation is an advantage here: communication between departments is immediate and issues are dealt with quickly.
