Project Management

The unique QCC team approach to project management ensures total control of your program. Comprised of management, sales, engineering, manufacturing, quality assurance and materials staff, your QCC team of experts guides the information processing, communication, resource negotiations, incremental and modular planning required to reach attainable milestones for each project.

Acting as the main interface between the customer and QCC, the project manager's role is paramount. Project managers monitor production schedules, and overall project progress and budgetary issues, while maintaining an open line of communication with each customer.

Management Systems

We recognize the strategic value of information and how it can provide a significant competitive advantage to customers. Through the adoption of Strategic Planning Information Resources (SPIR), all aspects of information related resources, are focused to advance our customers' value in the marketplace.

QCC project managers harness the SPIR concept to tailor internal MIS systems to accommodate specific project requirements such as quotations, material conformance, EDI, bar coding, tool usage, etc. From initial order acceptance, through seamless data interface with engineering and production, to final shipment, the strategic use of QCC's management systems result in the total quality control of each project.

Material Control

Strict adherence to customer specifications requires QCC to maintain total control of all material used in the manufacturing process. Supplier certification ensures that all raw materials are exactly as specified. Internal systems for spot audits and independent test facilities are part of the verification process.

QCC's material control extends to castings, forgings, heat treating and other commercially available components needed for project completion.

Cleanliness

Quality specifications for finished components and assemblies often extend beyond traditional methods. Current standards in many industries require removal of any particulate to low contaminate weight. To address this critical issue, QCC has invested in automated parts cleaning machinery. In aerospace, diesel fuel injection, and hydraulics where cleanliness is critical to overall assembly performance, QCC has the facilities and people capable of assuring conformance to demanding requirements.

Machining

Precision machining requires a continual investment in people and technology. QCC has made the commitment to both. Review our extensive equipment list. From state-of-the-art stand alone machines to cellular manufacturing, continual capital investment in technology enables QCC to deliver custom engineered solutions to any outsourcing challenge.

On-going operator training programs educate our craftsmen to efficiently and productively utilize technology. The result is a consistently high quality workforce that gets the job done right.

Assembly & Test

Nearly 40% of our customers require component assembly. We assemble multiple components into complex assemblies for power transmission, fuel system and aerospace devices results in consistent, repeatable performance.

Functional tests are conducted based on customer parameters. We design specialized test to continually monitor assembly performance. QCC's focus on being "Single-Source" has resulted in an expertise in delivering high precision, completely finished assemblies and sub-assemblies.

Heat Treating

To be truly a "Single-Source" supplier, QCC recognizes the need for controlling critical heat treating operations. To this end, a strategic alliance with the internationally recognized FPM Corporation has extended our metallurgical capabilities. FPM shares the same passion for perfection in heat treating materials that we do in our manufacturing operations. Their reputation in heat treatments has distinguished them as a creative problem solver. Often they will suggest an alternate method for enhanced product performance and cost reduction.

Through this partnership, QCC confidently maintains the consistency of material performance as demanded by customer specifications.

Supply Base Management

The selection of qualified suppliers is taken very seriously. An extensive audit must be completed prior to acceptance as an approved supplier. Periodic updates of this audit keep our suppliers' performance up to the levels we demand. Traceability of supplier conformance to our customers' specification is controlled through complete documentation.

Supplier management is used for all purchases including heat treating, plating, stampings, castings and forgings, as well as MRO items like perishable tooling and cutting oils.

We approach our suppliers as key members of the project management team. This approach benefits our customers by extending QCC's full service capabilities to include their expertise in quality production, cost containment and product enhancement.

Quality Control

Quality is much more than just a process, it's our way of doing business. Through Advanced Quality Planning (AQP), QCC identifies the quality expectations of each project and establishes processes to meet them. Detailed formal procedures are written to control design changes, documentation, and testing. Failure Mode Effects Analysis (FMEA) is used to reduce potential failure modes.

For fifty years our customers have learned to expect levels of quality that exceed their requirements. We have learned to expect that from ourselves. After all, Quality Control Corporation is our name.
