Quality Inspection Teams:

Product launches consist of systematically produced 
product lots that should exhibit and lead to the debugging 
of unexpected quality issues. The first product lot in a launch is produced at 
slower production rates and typically exhibits the highest number of quality 
issues.  The final product lot of a launch is produced during the assembly line 
PPAP run and should be produced at production "run at rates" while achieving 
the highest attainable quality levels.  ACE Manufacturing Services LLC provides 
non-partial Quality Inspection Teams to work within the customer’s plant to audit 
and tabulate the quality data of the various product lots.  At the end of each day 
the non-partial quality data is summarized and delivered to the customer's point 
person whom then distributes it to the responsible production managers.  These 
managers then put in place the directives to find and implement corrective actions 
to solve their particular quality issues.  This inspection process continues 
until the launch is completed and or the product exhibits the highest quality levels 
attainable.
