Steps ATL takes to ensure Quality is built into the product…
Quality Management System
A Quality Management System (QMS) is a capable and controlled (written) manufacturing system.
An effective QMS eliminates most failures before they occur. This is done through a technique called Failure Modes & Effects Analysis (FMEA).
FMEA
The FMEA identifies what controls are placed in the production process to catch any defects at various stages in the processing.
FMEA has been used by the U.S. to get a man safely to the moon and back.
At ATL, FMEA is done through…
Audits
Audits are not only done internally, but also externally.
ATL will audit potential customers before developing a security product.
ATL is just as cautious about whom we are working for as you are when selecting your suppliers.
