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
and Vice 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
Manager Responsibility
Each individual project is assigned a Project Manager
who controls all aspects of production. In particular, the
Project Manager has the responsibility and authority to ensure
the final product's quality is in full accordance with the
EP2 Quality Assurance Manual. The manual outlines in
detail the Project Manager's responsibility for contract administration;
document control; material procurement; material receiving
and inspection; in-process inspections and testing; final
inspection and testing; and finally packaging and shipping.
