Quality Assurance
Every detail counts. Rigorous testing procedures guarantee the highest quality and maximum process reliability.
Quality Assurance at Krieg
Quality assurance serves to prevent production errors and to ensure that components and products meet the required standards. Targeted measures reduce scrap rates, minimise rework and save costs in the long term.
Quality assurance methods
Various methods are used for quality assurance:
Incoming goods inspection: Inspection of raw materials and semi-finished products
Statistical process control (SPC): Continuous measurement and analysis of production data
Final inspection: Sample testing or 100% inspection of finished products
FMEA (Failure Mode and Effects Analysis): Risk analysis to prevent defects
Challenges in quality assurance
Quality assurance in metal processing faces exciting challenges that can be mastered with well-thought-out strategies:
Material quality: Fluctuations in raw material quality require precise testing procedures to guarantee consistently high product quality.
Technological innovation: New manufacturing methods such as 3D printing open up fresh possibilities, but also call for adapted QA approaches.
Cost-effectiveness: An optimal balance between inspection effort and cost is crucial to combining efficiency and quality.
Need for skilled staff: well-trained employees are at the heart of successful quality assurance. Their expertise ensures precision and reliability.
