Parts Testing
Some of the tests AIC executes regularly on finished parts to ensure quality results include:
Set Up Sheets
The AIC set up sheet is a unique document that we have created to ensure that every step of the coating process is identified, articulated, and agreed upon. Information on the set up sheet can include transportation details, incoming quality inspections, masking and coating steps, and more. The essential purpose of the set up sheet is to make sure that our employees can, at every point in the process, identify what process is needed, and how to do it well. The set up sheet is the constant job reference sheet that accompanies every job.
Custom Travelers
We work with our clients to create a custom traveler for each job, covering the unique combination of steps needed to ensure a quality result for that part. This is a key step in the AIC quality process. All of the details of each step are recorded throughout the execution of the job – and these travelers can be accessed by clients as needed for quality documentation purposes.
