Rapid, Scalable, Efficient
Uniteks’ Technical Support Services were developed to enhance the customers back end operations while allowing them to focus on their core competency. Unitek has the capability to rapidly scale up support for customers with emerging programs or who are going through a make/buy cost benefit analysis.
Unitek has 20 plus years’ experience in setting up and administering customers DSQR/DQR programs. The program administration capability includes;
- Screening recommended candidates
- Training on customer specific inspection program requirements
- Customer systems access and registration
- Systems data entry and detail capture
- Stamp control
- Reviewing DSQR annual certification and personnel requirement compliance
Knowledge of how the supply chain is performing is critical. Unitek can perform the supplier data review for Quality and Delivery.
Depending on the where the data is captured, Unitek can compile and output the data on a macro basis (Total Qty accept/reject) &/or micro basis (per part number).
Timely communication back to the supplier is crucial. Feedback of how the supplier is performing is key in order to make corrective action / preventative actions. Supplier score carding is key when determining the supplier category rating systems.
Specification compliance reviews are a form of risk identification for mitigation purposes. Specifications detail the requirements of products, processes and raw materials. Full specification review (ideally before contract award) is used by purchasing in order to evaluate product performance and quality compliance.
Compliance reviews can also encompass efforts to ensure that organizations are abiding by both industry regulations and government legislation. Compliance is a prevalent business concern, partly because of an ever-increasing number of regulations that require companies to maintain their compliance.
Unitek’s Qualified and experienced specialists can provide formal compliance audits that follow a specific format based on the compliance regulation, product or process being assessed.
Metrology is “the science and practice of measurement.” Metrology is important in some way to every human endeavor. More specifically, it is critical to all the physical, chemical and biological sciences and the technologies and manufacturing processes that are developed from them.
Instrument calibration is one of the chief methods of checking and maintaining the quality and accuracy of measurements. All these measurements are compared with the standard and accepted accuracy. If any discrepancies arise, the instrument is configured to provide results that lie within the acceptable precision, accuracy and repeatability range.
The calibration process is a procedure, which is a documented, validated and controlled method for making the comparisons. It defines the parameters to be measured, the measurement standards to be used, environmental conditions and the data to be collected.
The schedule of calibration holds importance, too. An end user must ensure that all instruments related to safety and quality are calibrated on schedule. Calibration analysis determines when each instrument should be calibrated, and its performance is closely monitored. This is a good manufacturing practice that focuses on eliminating or minimizing factors that are responsible for errors or inaccuracy.
Unitek can perform a variety of audits to confirm if all of the measurement tools are within the required performance specification range and due period. Unitek can also audit that the calibration processes are being performed in accordance with the calibration procedure.
