Quality System  Qualitel quality system is registered with BSI to ISO9001:2000, ISO13485 Medical Devices, and AS9100 Aerospace standards. With comprehensive Corrective/Preventive Action, Non-Conforming Products, Internal Audit, Management Review, Process Validations, and other process procedures implemented, Qualitel insures that we are continually improving our system.

  Training and Standards  Qualitel has adopted IPC-A-610 Rev D as its standard for electronics assembly workmanship. Specific customer requirements take priority over standards where there is conflict. Qualitel production team is 100% certified with IPC-A-610 Rev D and almost all our employees are certified with J-STD-001 Workmanship standards.  In addition, Qualitel's supervisors, leads, and managers provide continuous training as new processes and systems are introduced.

  Document Control  Qualitel manages and controls assembly documentation to insure that only current documentation is in use. Qualitel uses an online on-demand document system that is also backed up and stored off site.

  Work Instruction Documentation  Qualitel uses Engineering CAD software to create detail work instructions for manufacturing and CAM output to our SMT system.  All work instructions are available online and are released real-time.

  Barcoding System  Qualitel uses barcodes throughout the manufacturing floor.  All our SMT parts our barcode and are identified automatically with our SMT systems.   All work instructions, pick slips, and travelers contain barcode for accurate tracking and trace-ability of the product.

  Work Order Tracking  All products at Qualitel are labeled with a work order number and a unique serial number. If requested, these numbers can also be bar-coded.  As each operator performs an operation, data is collected via a barcode reader that logs the operator, work order number, and the process operation number. This data is available for trace-ability purposes and real-time tracking of each operation as it is completed.

  Quality Assurance  Inspection steps verify quality at strategic points throughout production, from receiving through shipping.  Depending on the product, detailed inspection plans are followed and data is collected on logs.

  Statistical Process Controls (SPC)  Data is collected on logs and are later used for SPC. Corrective actions are used if needed to trigger continuous improvement actions.

  Electrostatic Discharge (ESD)  Our factory floor is installed with 3M Antistatic Tiles and Epoxy coating. In addition, our employees are trained to test their wrist straps and foot straps daily. With a comprehensive ESD procedure and system in place, we eliminate any ESD issues.

  Calibration and Maintenance  We ensure that all our other equipment and tools are properly maintained and calibrated.
