Quality is not a department here.
It’s a sequence built into the floor.
Every part is checked four times before it leaves the building. Statistical Process
Control and Statistical Quality Control run on every press, every shift. Records and
retained samples are kept on every production run, of every mold, indefinitely.
From dock to dock.
Material Inspection
Every shipment of resin is inspected at the receiving dock — type, grade, purity, lot documentation. Substandard or improperly labeled material is returned to the supplier the same day. Material integrity at point of delivery eliminates the costliest QC problems before they start.
In-Process Evaluation
Quality control is constant, not periodic. Operators inspect every part for shape, color, and dimensional integrity. SPC charts run on every press, every shift. Process drift is caught and corrected on the press, in real time — not at the end of a run.
Pre-Shipping Evaluation
QC technicians sign off before any carton is sealed. No one can claim 100% perfection in custom molding, but we do everything humanly possible to eliminate defective parts and ensure agreed-upon standards are met. Retained samples and inspection records are archived on every production run.
Final Assembly & Secondary Operations
Welding, packaging, sub-assembly, and finishing — performed in-house or by carefully selected subcontractors. We take complete responsibility for the finished good in either case. The part on your dock is the part we shipped.
SPC and SQC. What they actually
mean.
Statistical Process Control
Real-time data collection on every machine, every cycle. Process variables — fill time, hold pressure, melt temperature, cooling time — are monitored continuously. Control charts flag drift before it produces an out-of-spec part.
[SPC = Statistical Process Control] [Plain language: real-time monitoring of every press to catch problems before bad parts get made.]
Statistical Quality Control
Sampling and dimensional inspection of finished parts at defined intervals throughout production. Trending data identifies systemic issues — tooling wear, resin lot variation, environmental drift — before they show up in the field.
[SQC = Statistical Quality Control] [Plain language: regular dimensional checks to make sure parts continue to meet spec across long runs.]
What's on file.
Modern Alpha Plastics operates to the standards listed below. Specific certifications are confirmed on a per-customer basis as part of supplier qualification.
Note: previous public reference to "ISO/QS9000 Compatible" has been removed. QS9000 was retired by the Big Three automakers in December 2006 and is no longer issued. The successor standard for automotive manufacturing is IATF 16949.
