Wal-Tek’s Quality Solutions in Action
Preparation Provides the Foundation
Every project begins with a comprehensive kickoff meeting, where our engineering, production, and quality teams review every aspect of the job before it moves to the shop floor. With collaborative planning at the start, our team can understand customer expectations and identify potential risks before they spiral into issues.
During this process, we evaluate:
- Contract requirements
- Engineering and drawing reviews
- Risk identification and mitigation
- Manufacturing process planning
- Customer-specific quality requirements
- Inspection and documentation needs
Investing this time upfront minimizes the potential for surprises, such as rework and other inefficiencies, down the line.
Quality Built Into Every Process
Throughout production, our team performs multiple verification steps to make sure every operation is completed correctly before moving on to the next stage, all to help us catch potential issues early.
Common quality inspection processes we perform at Wal-Tek include:
- Material certification verification
- First Article Inspection (FAI)
- First-piece setup verification
- In-process inspections
- Operator self-inspections
- Final inspection prior to shipment
- Verification of customer-specific requirements
- Review of Certificates of Conformance (CoCs)
