QUALITY
What does quality mean?
This is an easy question to answer. At K Tooling it means a few things. First, as Ford said "Quality is JOB 1" that is why it starts with our ERP system and flows to the manufacturing floor. We are AS9100D / ISO9001:2015 certified as a result of follow our procedures within our ERP. Here are the highlights: We're 100% paperless so changes to workflows are updated in real time
-
We're 100% paperless, all work instruction flow electronically to workstations on the floor. Changes such as work instruction or rev updates happening in real-time.
-
All print documents are dimensionally ballooned identifying critical features.
-
All tools are calibration certified to NIST standards. Our systems will "LOCK OUT" an out of calibration tool from being used. Those tool are then removed and recalibrated before re-entering the floor.
-
FAIs (First Article Inspections) are processed for all work orders and reports available.
-
IPI (In-Process Inspections) are recorded for SPC and performed by both the operator and double checked by our ever revolving quality control on the floor. An inspector is walking the floor and spot checking several times a day.
-
All raw material purchases have tracible certs, digitally attached to corresponding work orders of course, DFARS when required.
