QUALITY PROCESS

At EP2, we realized long ago that our top priority is controlling the processes that determine the quality of our product. From our company president to our most recently hired worker, quality is the responsibility of every employee.

PRESIDENT
Starting at the top, upper level management at EP2 defines and documents the policy and objectives for - and commitment to - quality in our products. Our company officers ensure that QA policy is understood, implemented and maintained at all levels in the organization. Because they are confident that every EP2 employee is dedicated to manufacturing quality products, our officers have delegated specific responsibility and authority to implement the company's quality assurance program to certain individuals.

MANAGER OF QUALITY ASSURANCE
Because QA is the basis of EP2's business philosophy, we employ a full time Manager of Quality Assurance. Inspecting each product at five designated points in the manufacturing process, the Manager of Quality Assurance has authority to accept or reject product advancement to each phase of production. Our products are inspected following steel assembly prior to painting; after painting prior to individual component mounting; after individual component mounting prior to wiring; after wiring prior to testing; and again one final time before shipment to our customers.

PROJECT MANAGEMENT RESPONSIBILITY
Each individual project is assigned a Project Manager / Project Specialist. That person will be the single point of contact for the customer. Specifically the Project Manager / Project Specialist has the responsibility and authority to ensure that the final product is in full accordance with the EP2 Quality Assurance Manual. The manual outlines in detail the responsibilities for contract administration; document control; material procurement; material receiving and inspection; in-process inspections quality inspections; final inspection and testing; and finally packaging and shipping.
