All products are manufactured using 100%
Statistical Process Control (SPC), with operators empowered to shut down
processes if a minimum 1.66Cpk is not maintained. This assures each and
every piece within a lot meets drawing requirements – and in fact, hits
nominal tolerances as opposed to using the entire tolerance band. What you
get are consistent parts with minimal part to part variation.
To assure maximum available capacity, APC
has also established long-term relationships with key suppliers. Our supply base has
been strategically developed to provide us with additional capacity, operational
flexibility and shorter lead times than our competitors. And our use of advanced
supplier management techniques also allows us to assure unparalleled quality and delivery
on all products – whether manufactured internally or externally.
APC – and our suppliers – have a
demonstrated commitment to Lean Manufacturing techniques. Our use of
Accelerated Improvement Workshops (AIW's), SPC and Cellular Manufacturing
assures the highest quality and shortest lead times for every production
order.
From initial quote to final product
delivery, Airdrome is committed to meeting or exceeding the needs of our customers.
