At Defence Coating Systems, we pride ourselves on our commitment to quality, consistency and continual improvement. A critical part of our service offering includes our comprehensive Batch Testing and Record Keeping services. We leverage advanced technology and proven methodologies to provide consistent, high-quality finishes and maintain meticulous records for all our processes to identify opportunities for improvement.
Batch Testing is a quality assurance process where a group, or 'batch', of items are tested together to ensure they meet specific standards. Not every single product or component needs testing. Instead, just a few items from a batch are inspected to ensure the whole batch meets the required standards.
These tests could involve checking the thickness of the coating, its colour, glossiness, how well it sticks to the surface, and more.
Record keeping involves documenting details from the batch testing process. When a batch of items is tested, findings, including which items were tested, the conducted tests, their results, and any quality adjustments, are recorded. DCS refer back to these records to understand past performances and guide future improvements. This ensures "Record Keeping" helps maintain high standards and promotes continuous enhancement in the production process.
Together, batch testing and record-keeping form a synergistic quality control framework. While batch testing ensures immediate adherence to standards, record-keeping offers a repository for benchmarking and consistency. Beyond just cataloguing data, these records provide insights for targeted improvements. Their combined strength not only ensures ongoing quality assurance but also fosters continual betterment in production.
