Quality
Quality is not just isolated to a department at Align Aerospace. Evident in every phone call and communication, it’s a driving philosophy. We believe that customer satisfaction and quality service go hand in hand and we make sure that every part that our customers receive meets the most stringent requirements.
Quality Assurance Policy
At Align Aerospace, we’re committed to the continuous improvement of our quality systems and processes.
At Align Aerospace, our policy is to provide customers on-time delivery of defect-free products and services. We are committed to the continuous improvement of our quality systems and processes.
We work closely with suppliers to improve process controls to reduce non-conformance. Key criteria are monitored during manufacturing to immediately correct any anomalies and delegated inspection is a necessary component of an overall cost reduction strategy as it eliminates the cost of redundant receiving inspections.
Some examples of our value-added quality services include:
- Incoming inspection of every shipment
- AS13001 certified inspectors for delegated inspection
- Dock-to-stock delivery
- Dedicated customer quality representatives who are process and product experts
- Process certification ensures predictable output
- Continuous training and state of the art equipment to meet customer quality requirements
- Digital storage of product certifications, inspection, and test reports
- Chemical and physical properties testing to ensure compliance to customer specifications
- Use of approved independent test labs for customer specs conformance validation
Quality Labs
With more than 30 dedicated employees and three independent quality-management labs, our quality team makes sure that every part you receive meets your most stringent requirements. We carefully manage customer flow-downs, lot control, and traceability to ensure product integrity after delivery. We are certified and compliant with industry standards and our quality systems are regularly inspected by customers and subject to internal audits and independent certification groups to ensure that we meet or exceed your high standards of quality.
Our goal is zero defects, always. We focus on corrective action and continually strive for improvement. Partnerships with suppliers allow us to drive improvement within our supply chain. As a result, defects are immediately addressed with the supplier with focus on permanent solutions.
Our quality team uses state of the art tools to inspect products, including Keyence image machines, automated vision inspection machines, optical comparators, toolmaker’s microscopes, and thermo XRF machines. We continually update inspection equipment so your materials can be tested quickly and accurately.
