Quality

PHILOSOPHY

Quality is not something to be superimposed by inspectors somewhere along the production line. At ZOT we aim for “the customer’s perception of excellence” and the finest details are closely controlled at each stage of manufacture. ZOT’s Quality assurance begins with the preparation of the manufacturing specification and the verification of tooling. Thereafter quality controls are built in at every stage of production, including SPC procedures where beneficial.

All processes are controlled by various quality methods, including Cp & Cpk, preventative maintenance schedules, critical characteristics, every possible variable and attribute is monitored and controlled. This is also backed up with a well-equipped Laboratory, covered 24 hours a day.

STRATEGY

The control and monitoring of our goals are the basics of our strategy.

The management team supports the Quality System and always takes the necessary actions to ensure the appropriate quality standards are applied.
