Quality Excellence

Quality Assurance

• Raw Material Inspection- Our quality checks start with the inspection of incoming materials particularly steel like checking the Mill TC through spectrometry in NABL approved labs, dimensions, thickness and hardness of the steel.
• PPAP Implementation- Before making any new component we make PPAP. It is basically production part approval process, which is used in manufacturing particularly in automotive industry to consistently produce parts that meet all design and quality requirements.
• F.A.I.R (First Article Inspection Report): It is implemented in our manufacturing so that all the designs and quality specification are taken care of before the mass production begins.
• Traceability System: It is a very important aspect of manufacturing for auto-parts as at any stage if there is a defect in the part, it can be traced back to the particular process where it happened and CAPA can be implemented.
• Kaizen Culture: It is the life blood of any organisation and as per this beautiful Japanese concept small improvements on a consistent basis leads to massive results in the long term and LR Circlips is always keen to involve their employees.
• In-Process Quality Checks: In process checking of components as per the drawings provided, according to the control plan and SPC (Statistical Process Control).
• Process Drawings on Machines: All the process drawings are there on the machine so that machine operators are fully aware about the tolerances.
• Advanced Heat Treatment Furnace: We have a state of the art continuous mesh belt type Shaker Hearth furnace which has a homogenised environment to ensure proper spring action and hardness as per the standard customer requirements.
• Rockwell Hardness Testing: We have rockwell hardness testers in Heat treatment department and PDI department.
• Mechanical Testing for Performance: We are using mechanical testing SPM to check the breakage and spring action of the circlips.
• Pre-Delivery Inspection: It is an IR which is made before every dispatch for internal purpose and customer which consists of Visual inspection, dimensions and hardness.
