Internal Quality System

Alinco ensures its quality through:

• EN1090 FPC (= production factory control) manual, which consolidates most pre-existing procedures structured according to EXC1 and EX2.

• Alinco is regularly supervised by a welding engineer.

• Material certificate management that goes far beyond the obligations for EN1090 EXC1/2.

• Thorough inspection of incoming and used materials, exceeding market standards. For instance, PMI testing of every sheet higher alloyed than RVS304.

• A fully permanently inventoried stock, including residual plates.

• An internal advanced location management system for goods in processing; all pieces from laser/sheet shear/saw machine/external sources are electronically placed in a location; this location system is active during production until shipping.

• An internal advanced labeling system: for every goods receipt and for residual plates, for example.

• Internal instructions to avoid scratches (100% avoidable they are not, of course), ranging from brushes on tables, rubbers to protect corners, etc.

• Use of reliable, recent equipment and machines.

• Regular internal meetings with people from the drawing office and workshop to improve internal structures and quality.

• Alinco’s workshop is open for external audits by customers.

• A performant ERP software package supplemented with several custom-written programs to meet Alinco’s specific needs.
