ENGINEERING
Safety is a key aspect in road traffic and industrial manufacturing
At TMD FRICTION we consider quality as a significant factor for the long-term success of our company. Quality management is therefore a key duty for the organization as a whole and for each and every employee: we are striving to achieve perfection in every process. From all of our international locations in Europe, America and Asia, we strive to produce premium quality friction, to consistently high standards.
TMD FRICTION's global directives encompass all divisions and processes within the company. In terms of process control TMD FRICTION applies methods such as Six Sigma and C.I. (Continuous Improvement). A reporting system records and monitors all the relevant quality processes and procedures for identifying issues and correct them in real time.
The TMD FRICTION quality assurance program starts from the development of suppliers and their respective raw materials per global TMD FRICTION guidelines and continues with modern production process control measures, techniques, and finished goods inspection.
Our processes are also certified by ISO 9001:2008 and ISO / TS 16949:2009.

This overall validation process is based on:
1. Tests routinely performed by our own or certified external labs:
FMVSS-121 TMD O.E. Wear vs. Temp. TestChase Test Transverse Rupture StrengthKrauss Test Hardness Density Acetone Extraction Swell / Growth Particle Size Moisture Content Bulk DensityCompressibility Salt Spray CorrosionShear Strength
2. Lean management is a fundamental principle included in the global directives. By optimizing all cycles, we increase speed and flexibility improving product quality. Optimum process control helps greatly in preventing any form of waste, such as overproduction, repairs and waiting times.
Some of the points covered by our lean program are:
Both the material flow within the factories and the required supply chains are simplified and organized to minimize stocks and improve customer service.
For every location there is an overall plan which integrates all activities.
Lean production at every location is measured by six parameters: scrap, on-time delivery, inventory turnover, throughput times, overall equipment effectiveness and unit labor costs.
The result of our Lean Management system is incorporated in the long-term planning process.Lean Management does not just play a significant role in production - it equally affects all functions within of the organization - from replacement sales to purchasing department to logistics.
Analysis, improvement and standardization of processes lead to a better understanding of our products, less sources of error and a higher level of quality for our brake linings.

3. Extensive testing. TMD FRICTION also performs controlled vehicle tests in the field supervised by TMD FRICTION’s technical and engineering personnel, generating follow up results on friction and braking performance, wear of lining or pads, and impact on other brake system components. With this, you can rely on our products to offer value for your money and effective, safe braking every time.
Every product we create is subjected to:
Up to 300,000 kilometers of testing Intensive NVH testing (Noise, Vibration, Harshness) and comfort engineeringUp to 2,000 hours of dynamometer testingComputerized evaluation of braking performance and wear patternRigorous homologation testing in real-life conditions

The federal government is in the middle of a three-year program to reduce the stopping distances of Class 8 tractors.
The first part of its new stopping distance regulations covered three axle tractors up to 59,600 pounds gross vehicle weight ratings (GAWR) and was effective on August 1st, 2011.
The program will be completed in August 2013 when all other tractors - with GAWRs over 59,600 pounds- are included in the National Highway Traffic Safety Association regulations. The goal, of course, is to make the stopping capability of trucks closer to that of a typical passenger car.
The primary change to the tractor’s brakes as a result of this rulemaking is the use of higher torque output disc brake pads and drum brake linings and the use of wider rear drum brakes.
During high deceleration stopping, a weight transfer occurs and adds significant load to the steer axle. This action is sometimes called “dive.”
As a result, more torque is required from the steer brakes. These vehicles, therefore, have either larger, higher torque drum brakes or air disc brakes. These steer brake changes, and the fact that air disc brakes are now an option on all axles, are changing the landscape of both original equipment (O.E.) brake linings and aftermarket brake linings in North America.
