Plant specification

Built for repeat production, not heroic one-offs.

Temperature-controlled machining halls, isolated metrology rooms, and line-side material staging keep variation visible before it becomes scrap.

Quality philosophy

Inspection is a process input, not a final apology.

GRIDWORKS defines control plans during quoting, validates them at first article, and keeps dimensional evidence attached to every production lot. Operators see live SPC limits at the cell, while QA owns release authority.

Every critical feature receives a measurement method before purchase order acceptance.

Nonconformance review requires root cause, containment, and verified corrective action.

Customer drawings, revisions, and inspection records stay linked through serialized travelers.
