QUALITY ASSURANCE - LAYERS

The strategic or organisational level

  • In compliance with ISO 9001:2015, the Quality Manual clearly outlines the flow of control over the Quality Control System from the management to technical operations and support services.
  • Integration of ERP, implemented within the organisational level with QC & QA capabilities with documentation...

The tactical or functional level

  • Advanced manufacturing and testing facility maintaining practices like lean manufacturing to reduce waste & risk, enhancing operational resilience.
  • The in-house R&D facility is engaged in an extensive design and development process, in consideration of the needs of customers.

The manoeuvre or operational level

  • A hygienic and safe working environment is maintained on all workshop floors.
  • The working staff is given timely reminders of the QC protocol through SOP (Standard Operating Procedure) documents that detail all specific operations and methods.

QUALITY ASSURANCE FACILITIES

Signotron has established in-house modern manufacturing & test facilities to work with.
Some of the major types of equipment related to Quality are:

  • Temperature Controlled Curing Chambers

QUALITY ASSURANCE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM & BUSINESS EXCELLENCE

ISO 9001:2015, the international standard specifying requirements for quality management systems, is the most prominent approach to quality control management systems. Key performance indicators that we follow are:

  • Meeting the customers' requirements: This is our first step in allowing our customers to understand our honest ways of work as they put their trust in us.
  • Meeting the organization's requirements: This ensures compliance with regulations and provision of products and services in the most cost- and resource-efficient manner, creating room for expansion, growth, and profit.
  • The robust design of individual products by our team of design engineers: We are connected to reputed professors and specialists from renowned universities like IIT (KGP), Jadavpur University & IIEST (Shibpur), for necessary design support and technical guidance.
  • Selecting the best brands for electronics components and procurement of all raw material through a genuine and tested source.
  • Testing of all finished products - as per customer specifications or I.S. before their final dispatch. Test reports of the same are recorded.

Our management aims to build an effective work culture with a positive approach towards work, high employee morale, measurable productivity and a strong focus on safety and health.

QUALITY ASSURANCE AUDIT & COMPLIANCE

ISO, RDSO, RITES and private consignees conduct regular and frequent inspections.

There is also an intra-company provision for compliance with prescribed quality standards. This involves inspection at an individual component level to assess quality compliance with the originally required criteria. All parameter data is duly reported to the management. Deviations from prescribed standards are either corrected or eliminated at the first occurrence.
