Quality Is More Than a Name‚ It’s a Culture
Weldaloy’s Quality System is registered to ISO 9001:2000‚ but more than that – we have Quality built into our corporate culture. You see‚ in a closely knit company like Weldaloy‚ where forging and machining operations share the same location‚ you can’t pass along an inferior part. After all‚ the person you gave that part to may be the same person with whom you sit down to eat lunch. It is a matter of personal integrity at Weldaloy to be sure that the part you pass along to the next operation be the absolute best you can make. This continues all the way to the customer. That pride in workmanship is why Weldaloy is asked to produce next generation product‚ again and again.
Signature Quality
At Weldaloy‚ we don’t have an army of inspectors. We don’t need an army. Every operator‚ from the forge and machine shop to the shipping department‚ is responsible for the part they make and sign off on their operation before they send it to the next operation. That means that each operator has checked each part‚ and it meets all requirements up to that point. Any operator may stop production if there is a quality problem‚ as well as reject a lot back to the previous operation if they do not agree the quality standard is met. As a result‚ the product is inspected twice at every step by people who are best qualified to produce good product. Of course‚ we do have a formal Quality Audit before the parts are shipped‚ but for the most part it is a formality. The operators make sure of that.
Serialized To Be Sure
Every part manufactured by Weldaloy is marked with a material ID to maintain traceability throughout the manufacturing process. Parts can also be serialized if the customer requires or if we find an internal need for a higher level of traceability. The pedigree of each part can be traced back through every operation and operator to the raw material received at Weldaloy. We also keep the material supplier’s chemical analysis of the raw material on file‚ for any inquiries.
