Quality Control (QC) is essential to ensure that products and services meet the highest standards of quality and reliability. Rexel Industrial Solutions (RIS) implements a comprehensive QC system characterized by several key elements.
Quality management ensures MRO spares and consumables meet required standards of quality, reliability, and safety, impacting the safety and reliability of machines and equipment. High-quality spares improve efficiency and productivity by reducing downtime and maintenance costs.
Supplier Quality Management involves establishing quality standards, conducting regular audits, and maintaining good relationships with suppliers. In-Process Quality Control includes continuous monitoring and testing of production processes to ensure adherence to quality standards. Final Product Inspection involves rigorous testing of final products to verify they meet all specifications and performance criteria. Non-Conformance Management includes documenting and investigating any non-conformance to determine root causes and implement corrective actions. Continuous Improvement involves monitoring performance metrics, identifying areas for improvement, and implementing processes to drive continuous improvement. Customer Satisfaction Monitoring involves collecting customer feedback to assess satisfaction levels and address complaints promptly.
