Quality
Precision manufacturing demands unwavering quality standards at every stage of production. At Barth Industries, our systematic approach to quality management combines advanced measurement technology, comprehensive documentation and rigorous inspection protocols to deliver components that consistently meet your most demanding specifications. From incoming materials to final shipment, every process is designed to eliminate variation and ensure reliable performance in your critical applications.
Inspection and Verification
100% Parts Inspection
Every component that leaves our facility undergoes complete inspection to verify dimensional accuracy and surface finish requirements. Our quality technicians use precision measuring equipment to ensure each part meets your specifications before packaging and shipment.
Coordinate Measuring Machine (CMM) Capabilities
Our advanced CMM technology provides micron-level accuracy for complex geometries and tight tolerance verification. This sophisticated measurement capability allows us to handle the most demanding precision requirements while providing detailed inspection reports that document compliance with your specifications.
First Article Inspection and PPAP
We conduct thorough first article inspections for all new parts, providing complete documentation that validates our manufacturing process meets your requirements. Our Production Part Approval Process (PPAP) capabilities satisfy automotive and aerospace quality standards, ensuring smooth program launches and ongoing production approval.
Traceability, Documentation and Supply Chain Management
Complete Part Traceability
Every component is marked with unique identifiers that trace back to the specific manufacturing shift, machine and operator. This comprehensive traceability system enables rapid response to any quality concerns and provides the documentation required for critical applications.
Process Documentation
Our manufacturing processes are thoroughly documented with detailed work instructions, tooling specifications and quality checkpoints. This standardization ensures consistent results regardless of shift or operator, while enabling efficient troubleshooting and continuous improvement.
Supplier Programs
When customers request direct-buy programs, we extend our quality requirements to approved suppliers, ensuring raw materials and castings meet specifications before entering our manufacturing process. This upstream quality control minimizes variations and reduces the risk of non-conforming parts.
Continuous Improvement
Quality Team Development
We’re building a formal quality team structure that emphasizes prevention over inspection. This proactive approach focuses on process control and early detection of potential issues, reducing waste while improving overall product quality.
Customer Feedback Integration
Regular customer scorecards and feedback sessions drive our improvement initiatives. We track key metrics including on-time delivery, quality performance, and customer satisfaction to identify opportunities for enhanced service.
Equipment Calibration and Maintenance
Our precision measurement equipment undergoes regular calibration to maintain accuracy and reliability. Preventive maintenance programs keep our CNC machines operating at peak performance, ensuring consistent quality output.
Confidentiality and Security
Secure Manufacturing Environment
Barth maintains strict confidentiality protocols with dedicated work areas for sensitive projects. Our security measures protect proprietary designs and manufacturing processes, earning the trust of Fortune 500 companies requiring discretion.
Non-Disclosure Agreements
