Overview
Johanson's quality engineering organization operates as an independent function and reports to the chairman. The structure is in line with modern quality principles, a vision, and support for quality. The utilization of advanced product/process quality planning (APQP) includes real-time statistical process control (SPC), design and process FMEAs with dynamic control plans, gauge R&R, and a web-based documentation system.
At Johanson, quality is not a department, it's a culture!
Certifications
Customer Quality Engineering
The Customer Quality Engineering (CQE) function is deployed with total customer satisfaction principles. Customers are provided with rapid response times using an eight-discipline (8-D) problem solving and resolution method. Customer satisfaction is monitored with a zero-defect strategy, and on-time delivery is one of the KPIs.
Manufacturing Quality Engineering
Manufacturing Quality Engineering (MQE) functions are made up of diverse cross-functional engineering background talent. The focus is on process capability, optimization, and stability.
The following are used throughout the processes:
- FMEA – Failure Mode and Effect Analysis
- DFM – Design for Manufacturing
- SPC – Statistical Process Control
- PPAP – Production Part Approval Process
Failure Analysis & Reliability
Failure Analysis and Reliability Engineering functions operate according to scientific methods. The team leading these functions comes from material science and other leading industry technical backgrounds. In-house capabilities include Energy-Dispersive X-Ray Analysis (EDX), also referred to as EDS or EDAX, is an X-ray technique used to identify the elemental composition of materials. Thermogravimetric Analysis (TGA), Destructive Physical Analysis, and Applications of Scanning Acoustic Microscopy (C-SAM).
Reliability Engineering in-house testing capabilities:
HTOL, HASS, HALT, FITs, MTBF, MTTF Estimators, AEC-Q-200, Shock (mechanical), and Vibration.
Providing MIL screening including 100% burn-in and other leading industry testing.
- HTOL – High Temperature Operating Life
- HASS – Highly Accelerated Stress Screen
- HALT – Highly Accelerated Life Test
- FITs – Kristine still researching (to provide today)
- MTBF Estimators – Mean Time Between Failures
Metrology
Our in-house metrology department provides calibration services. Equipment capability analysis, statistical tools, and gauge R&R studies are part of the new equipment introduction. Advanced knowledge of calibrating metrology instruments and equipment to ensure compliance with NIST including ISO/IEC 17025. An online calibration and maintenance database system is in place for tracking, preventive maintenance, and on-time calibration.
Supplier Quality Engineering
