Programming and Production Planning
Programming and production planning is under the direction
of experienced Manufacturing Engineers. Our programming staff uses the
Intercim AutoPro programming system.
This advanced system is supported by high resolution
full color graphics and features both screen and plotter translation
of part configuration and machine tool movement and positioning.
All
programs and edits are plotted and proven prior to release for
actual machine prove-out, saving both production down time and
material waste.
Detailed work orders which include purchasing
requirements and full manufacturing and inspection process controls
and documents are prepared and approved by both Engineering and
Quality Control prior to production release.
All materials are
serialized and documented for full materials traceability.
All
completed goods are serialized and/or are batch traceable to all
inspection documentation.
Uniform Practices and Procedures
Our employees participate in a program of strictly regulated written shop standards and procedures that includes shop cleanliness and safety programs.
