Laboratory Testing
and Quality Control
Quality
Standards
Malcolm's Quality System is based
on the requirements of BS EN ISO 9001:2000 and is accredited by
the British Standards Institute.
As part of our commitment to
offering a Total Quality Service to all our customers We have adopted
Continuous improvement activities using Kaizen production methods
working with the "Society of Motor Manufacturers & Traders
Industry Forum" (SMMT), to reduce waste, increase efficiency
and create a better working environment by using tools such as 5C's,
7 Wastes, Visual controls and standard operations. All
process stages are monitored by an "on site" laboratory
to ensure the process's optimum performance. Key processes are also
analysed by the supplier at regular intervals. Facilities are available
for "on site" component destructive testing (eg. salt
spray; composite corrosion) to customer requirements.
Malcolm
uses a customised IT system based around our own and customer requirements
which allows full traceability throughout our processes and is fully
intergrated with our administrative and quality procedures.
Onsite
Process Control
Thorough
use and development of statistical information on key aspects of
our processes not only satisfies the need of many of our customers,
but also contributes towards more effective and efficient processes,
leading to a better and more cost effective product. |
