Quality / Assurance

Quality Built Into Production.

Quality planning, validation, measurement and structured problem-solving are integrated throughout project preparation and serial production.

Quality from the start

Quality follows the complete production route.

Planning and control begin with project feasibility and continue through validation, serial production and ongoing process control.

Planning & risk control

Structured before production begins.

RIVIMETAL applies established quality-planning methods to define the process, review risk and incorporate customer-specific requirements.

01APQP

Supports project planning from feasibility through validation and final approval.

02PFMEA

Identifies process risks early and supports the definition of appropriate safeguards.

03Process Flowcharts

Define the sequence of manufacturing, inspection and control points.

04Control Plans

Document the controls and reaction strategy required for the production process.

05Customer Requirements

Project-specific requirements are integrated into planning and production control.

Validation & measurement

Evidence before approval. Control through production.

Documented validation and in-house quality control support first-article approval and ongoing process stability according to project requirements.

01PPAP

Supports documented production-part approval within the agreed project route.

02FAI

First Article Inspection is conducted at tool release with dimensional reporting.

03SPC

Monitors defined process parameters to support stable serial production.

04MSA

Supports confirmation of measurement-system capability and repeatability.

05In-house QC

Quality control and testing are connected directly with production and validation.

Testing & Measurement
Structured response

Solving Problems at the Root.

Established problem-solving methods support investigation, root-cause analysis and focused corrective action.

01

8D

A structured, team-based route for problem resolution and corrective action.

02

5 Whys

A focused method for tracing an issue beyond its immediate symptom.

03

Ishikawa

Cause-and-effect mapping used to structure potential contributing factors.

04

Pareto Analysis

Helps focus investigation and action on the issues with the greatest impact.
