sheet metal inspection
Our inspection procedures are in accordance with MIL-I-45208. All measuring tools are checked and calibrated periodically as required. Calibration is in accordance with MIL-I-45662. A 100% first article inspection is mandatory on all first run orders. We have control of our manufacturing processes. We have incorporated extensive in-process quality procedures in order to insure high quality. Parts are checked and rechecked in order to maintain a 100% quality / defect free lot. Quality awareness among our employees has made the difference.

Quality Management
SMI is committed to excellence in the design and production of our customer's products. Quality issues are addressed 'up front' via consultation with the customer. This process continues through manufacturing to delivery of the finished product. Each product has a unique quality plan focusing on control of all characteristics including:
· Critical Dimensions
· Process control
· Data collection requirements

· Proactive efforts to minimize variations

Each product has detailed manufacturing process documentation and all staff are certified as trained on the manufacturing process for each type of product. Top-level management conducts regular quality meetings to audit the status of our quality systems and to monitor quality system effectiveness. This commitment to quality runs consistently throughout SMI departments.
