Quality System · Rev. 14 · Issued 2025

AS9100D, ISO 9001 & NADCAP. Certified, audited, named.

Our quality system is built so your QA team can accept our CMM reports and FAI packets on the first pass — no rework on your end, no re-issued paperwork on ours. Every shipment leaving Long Beach or Phoenix carries traceable documentation back to the heat-treat batch, the stock lot, and the named machinist who ran the program.

§ 01 · The Quality Management System

A working QMS — not a wall certificate.

AS9100D and ISO 9001:2015 are not posters in our lobby. They are operationalized across five daily disciplines: document control with revision tracking, a calibration program covering every gauge on the shop floor, training matrices tied to part numbers rather than job titles, a CAPA log reviewed weekly by engineering and quality, and configuration management that traces every drawing revision to the as-shipped part.

NADCAP accreditation covers our in-house heat-treat and NDT processes, and ITAR registration is current for defense and aerospace work routed through Long Beach. The Quality Director — a named individual, not a department alias — signs every FAI and every Certificate of Conformance that leaves the shop. If your supplier-quality team needs a point of contact for an audit finding, you get the name on the cover sheet.

  • Document control. Revision-tracked drawings, work instructions, and FAI templates under change control.
  • Calibration program. All gauges on the shop floor carry calibration records traceable to NIST through accredited labs.
  • Training matrices. Machinists are qualified per part class, not generically — see the cell sign-off sheet.
  • CAPA. Corrective and preventive actions reviewed weekly; root-cause analysis required for any first-article rejection.
  • Configuration management. Every as-shipped part is traceable to the drawing revision on the FAI.

§ 02 · Audited performance

Four numbers. 41,200+ parts. Audited, not estimated.

97.6%

First-article acceptance rate

Across 41,200+ parts shipped in 2024. Verified by customer-signed FAI receipts.

99.4%

On-time shipment rate

Carrier-scan timestamp vs. promised ship date, 2024 calendar year.

412ppm

Defect rate, post-FAI

Parts-per-million defects identified by the customer after first-article sign-off.

±1.2µm

CMM measurement uncertainty

Expanded uncertainty (k=2) on the Hexagon Global S Plus, calibrated 2025-Q3.

§ 03 · Metrology stack

The inspection equipment that backs the ±0.0005" promise.

Every measurement we quote is bounded by the calibrated accuracy of these machines. If your print calls out a tolerance tighter than what this stack can verify, the quote will flag it before the cut — not after the part arrives at your dock.

CMM · 5.7.7

Hexagon Global S Plus

5-axis coordinate measuring machine with a fixed probe rack and scanning head. Permits tight-tolerance verification of prismatic features, GD&T datums, and complex 3D contours on aluminum, steel, and titanium parts.

Vickers and Knoop micro-hardness testing down to 0.01 kgf load. Used to verify heat-treat outcomes on tool-steel and titanium parts where lot-level hardness certification is required.

Scales
HV0.01 – HV10, HK
Stage
Manual, 100 × 100 mm
Use case
Heat-treat lot verification

§ 04 · The engineering review desk

Every quote is signed by a named machinist.

Behind the quote form is a desk of eleven senior CNC programmers — five in Long Beach, six in Phoenix — who review every uploaded STEP and IGES file before a price is returned. They flag GD&T callouts that the CAM system will misinterpret, wall-stock that is too thin for the chosen material, and tolerance stacks that demand a tighter machine than the one the file is queued for. The note they leave lives inside the quote PDF, next to the line item. That is the human checkpoint that pushes first-article acceptance to 97.6%, and the reason a part that leaves our dock arrives at yours ready to install.

§ 05 · Supplier qualification, accelerated

Send the file. We'll send the quote and the cert packet.

Upload your STEP or IGES, set the tolerance stack and the material, and our review desk returns a DFM-annotated quote — typically within six hours for files under fifty parts. Request the full cert packet at the same time and it lands in your supplier-quality team's inbox before the parts ship.
