The Process

The process flowchart is designed to provide an overall structure and guidelines for various processes, but it is important to note that it is not a "one-size-fits-all" solution. Each request or product has unique requirements, specifications, and conditions that influence how processes should be carried out. Therefore, it is not always possible or appropriate to apply the entire process flowchart to every request or product as a whole.
1

Inquiry

The flow starts when we receive an inquiry from the customer, where the product's requirements and specifications are discussed. We gather all necessary information to begin the process.
2

Quote/Estimate

After understanding the customer's needs, we conduct a thorough calculation and prepare a quote that includes the price, timeline, and other important details. The quote provides a clear picture of what can be expected from the project.
3

Prototype

After the quote is approved, we move on to developing a prototype. The prototype serves as the first physical representation of the final product, allowing for testing and feedback before mass production begins.
4

APQP

Advanced Product Quality Planning (APQP) ensures that all quality requirements are met through carefully planned steps, which reduces risks and improves product development in the PPAP process.
5

PPAP – IMDS

Production Part Approval Process (PPAP) ensures that all requirements and specifications are met before production begins. IMDS (International Material Data System) is used to ensure that material selection complies with chemical composition standards, ensuring that no prohibited substances are present in the component.
6

Purchasing

In this step, we ensure that all necessary materials and components are purchased according to the specifications established in previous steps, with a focus on quality and delivery time.
7

Incoming materials – Inspection

When the material arrives, a thorough inspection is carried out to ensure it meets all quality requirements before moving on to production.
8

The manufacturing process

This is where the actual manufacturing takes place according to specified processes. Each step is closely monitored to ensure the product maintains the highest possible quality, enabling the creation of an accurate control plan and ensuring smooth flow in the manufacturing process.
9

Reworking – e.g. surface treatment

After manufacturing, additional processing such as surface treatment can be performed to enhance the product's properties, such as corrosion resistance or aesthetics.
10

Final inspection – Measurement

A final quality control and measurement are conducted to ensure that the finished product meets all specifications and quality requirements before it is shipped out.
11

Storage/Packaging

The products are stored and packaged according to the customer's requirements, with a focus on protecting the products during storage and transport.
12

Logistics / Shipping

The final step in the process is logistics, where the products are distributed to the customer. We ensure that the delivery is smooth and on time, according to the agreed terms.
