Product and material is identified throughout the manufacturing process. All parts running in the shop are accompanied by a shop process packet and a labor card that clearly identifies the part number, quantity, delivery dates, and entire customer address and shipping instructions. Additional process/machine information is also included in this packet.
All jobs are assigned a Precise Products Job number. Each job is scheduled using a
software program called JobBOSS®
Do you use any JIT replenishment systems with any of your other
customers? Some examples: In one case we receive a plastic injection molded part in large quantities, and we are expected to finish machine enough each week to stay ahead of their needs. Parts are packaged in lots of (80) pieces in order to meet the line requirements. In another project, we run parts to the customer’s schedule and ship parts in a reusable box. The customer’s schedule is fed to us using a forecast. This project has a (2) week machining and plating cycle prior to shipping. Precise Products has produced over 70,000 pieces using the cellular manufacturing methods to date.
It is our intent to run our shop at about 75% capacity. Upon reaching our capacity goals we explore the option of either adding people and/or equipment. Our internal goals include a growth pattern of 15% annually.
Please view our on-line quality manual, procedures and work instructions for additional information. The Precise Products quality program is in compliance with Mil-A-45208 and effective May 2001 meets all the requirements of ISO 9001:2000 and AS9100:2001-08. Our quality manual has been converted to meet the ISO standard and we are auditing and updating our internal systems to insure compliance. All parts produced at PPC are inspected at several levels. All setups are required to pass inspection prior to production. During production we require routine inspections based on customer requirements or the demands of the job. These routine inspections are done by both the operator and the quality department. Upon completion of the lot, and prior to shipment, all parts must pass through a final inspection process. The final inspection includes checking and recording actual dimensions. The final inspection report is kept on file for (15) years.<
