  • Accountability from an established, full-service metal solutions partner
  • Maximizing the value received for every dollar
  • Solving their toughest casting and machining challenges

 CAPA Process (CORRECTIVE AND PREVENTIVE ACTION):

​* Problem identification
* Impact assessment
* Containment
* Investigate/Root Cause
* Corrective Action
* Verification
* Closure

DFM (​DESIGN FOR MANUFACTURABILITY)

Design for Manufacturability is the engineering practice of designing products in such a way that they are easy to manufacture. The concept exists in almost all engineering disciplines, but the implementation differs widely depending on the manufacturing technology. DFM describes the process of designing or engineering a product in order to facilitate the manufacturing process in order to reduce its manufacturing costs. DFM will allow potential problems to be fixed in the design phase which is the least expensive place to address them. Other factors may affect the manufacturability such material, the form of the raw material, dimensional tolerances, and secondary processing such as finishing and machining.
DEC Industries uses this process to create the Best possible part at the BEST PRICE!

APQP (ADVANCED PRODUCT QUALITY PLANNING)

APQP serves as a guide in the development process and also a standard way to share results between suppliers and automotive companies. APQP specifies three phases: Development, Industrialization and Product Launch. Through these phases 23 main topics will be monitored. These 23 topics will be all completed before the production is started. They cover such aspects as: design robustness, design testing and specification compliance, production process design, quality inspection standards, process capability, production capacity, product packaging, product testing and operator training plan, among other items.

APQP focuses on:
  • Up-front quality planning
  • Determining if customers are satisfied by evaluating the output and supporting continual improvement
APQP consists of five phases:
  • Plan and Define Program
  • Product Design and Development Verification
  • Process Design and Development Verification
  • Product and Process Validation and Production Feedback
  • Launch, Assessment & Corrective Action
The APQP process has seven major elements:
  • Understanding the needs of the customer
  • Proactive feedback and corrective action
  • Designing within the process capabilities
  • Analyzing and mitigating failure modes
  • Verification and validation
  • Design reviews
  • Control special/critical characteristics.

PPAP (Production Part Approval Process)

Production Part Approval Process (PPAP) is the industry standard that ensures engineering design and product specification requirements are met. Through the PPAP guideline, suppliers and customers understand the requirements to obtain part approval of supplier manufactured parts. Applicable to all parts and commodities, application of these principles reduces delays and non-conformances during part approval.
What specific challenges does this address?
  • Provides understanding of information required to obtain part approval and standardizes the part approval process
  • How to obtain approval of parts/processes after part design changes and/or process changes
  • Ensures part submissions are submitted with proper information and enough data to sustain product conformance
  • Provides a record of part conformance at launch
  • Details pertinent design records to ensure traceability of part design status at origin
  • Controls product and process change process, providing an approval outlet for all changes to ensure conformance to the next level assembly/process
What are the benefits of PPAP?
  • Consistent part approval process
  • Assurance parts conform to customer requirements
  • Evidence of process stability
  • Controls product and process change process, providing an approval outlet for all changes to ensure conformance to the next level assembly/process
