Control

CAB's 25+ year successful track record of
success is based on long term customer satisfaction and
commitment to quality. A Key Differentiator that sets CAB apart
is our significant investment in quality control. Our experience
has taught us that the best way to grow our business is to focus
on tightly controlled quality controlled processes and attention
to detail. Every employee and partner within the CAB network is
fully engaged in this commitment, and stands behind our
commitment to YOUR success.
Five Steps to Quality Results
-
Define: A
Six Sigma trained CAB team identifies a projects business
objectives as well as customer needs and feedback. As part
of the definition phase, the team identifies those
attributes, called CTQs (critical to quality
characteristics), that have the most impact on quality.
-
Measure:
Based on our 25+ years of experience, The CAB team
identifies key internal processes that influence CTQs and
measures the defects currently generated relative to those
processes.
-
Analyze:
The team identifies why defects are generated by identifying
the key variables that are most likely to create process
variation.
-
Improve:
The team confirms the key variables and quantifies their
effects on the CTQs. It also identifies the maximum
acceptable ranges of the key variables and validates a
system for measuring deviations of the variables. The team
modifies the process to stay within the acceptable range.
-
Control:
Tools are put in place to ensure that under the modified
process the key variables remain within the maximum
acceptable ranges over time in a repeatable closed loop
process.
Partnership Foundries Committed to
Quality
CAB's on-site
staff works closely with partner foundries to ensure the
implementation of both our own and customers’ quality control
standards. Every CAB factory has gone through a rigorous CAB
quality control acceptance (audit) process with on-going on-site
inspections. Together with our customers, we design
specific quality control procedures for each project. We then
apply overarching quality control governance with a variety of
methods including:
- Critical Success Factors - Scheduling, Capacity/Growth
Planning, Risk Factors
- Technical Specifications
- Hardness, Chemical composition, Standard Mechanical
properties, Dimensional, Charpy, Elongation, Harden ability
etc.
- Contingency Plans with qualified alternative factories
to ensure your business continuity isn't negatively affected
