Quality

Our qualified staff is the guarantee of the high quality of our production. Our quality control department is equipped with modern measuring equipment such as the three-dimensional measuring tables LK G 90 CS and XYZ 643 C, the optical microscope Zeiss 250C, the ultrasound crack detector, the portable hardness tester Hardness Rangemaster, etc. We are able to check the quality of all moulds we produce and to provide the customer with products samples or with a pilot series, including all features required by the standards ISO 9001, VDA and QS 9000.

Certifikace

1993-1995 adoption of the ISO 9000 standard 1996 certification by the company TÜV CERT 26.11.1996 ISO 9001 certification 1999-2001 ISO 9001 recertification 1995-2004 extension of the system by the VDA 6.1 and QS 9000 standards 2003 ISO 9001/2000 certification 2007 ISO/TS 16949:2002 certification

Ensuring high quality of products

According to the agreement with the customer, AP ensures high quality of the products through application of the quality control system in compliance with the ISO 9001 standard or with the VDA 6.1 and QS 9000 standards, performing following steps:

• Testing the production ability (suitability of the machinery equipment, tools and accessories, and determination of the production process)
• Testing the product properties (design, appearance, dimensions, labeling, function, strength, used material)
• Testing the eligibility of the machine, process, SPC
• Determining of the technological FMEA
• Planning the quality control - elaboration of the quality control plans, possibly PQP
• Ensuring by the FIFO principle

Ensuring high quality of the first samples

For this purpose, reference samples at the production line conditions are prepared. Evaluation of the workmanship quality and products appearance is made using the measuring protocol with all prescribed and measured values, including comparative drawings, and the material protocol. At this procedure, certificates of the plastics suppliers are accepted, and the strength and functionality protocol with all prescribed and real values (on demand) is used. Further the results of the technological FMEA (on demand), and the quality control plan, are used for this purpose. Eligibility of the machines and equipment may be checked according to the PQP demands.

Ensuring high quality of the production

High quality of the production line is ensured by using appropriate technological processes, including working and packaging instructions. The quality of the production is tested according to the quality control plan, and possibly by POP, and is documented in the testing documentation of the monitored signs (variable, attributive signs). The purpose is to provide a controlled technological process. All documents regarding the quality control can be on demand presented to the customers (they are archived by AP for 3 years). The aim of AP is to supply perfect products. The level of the quality can be subject of the Quality and PPM aims agreement.
