PROJECT MANAGEMENT
We have a dedicated Project team responsible for delivering new product introductions, engineering changes and prototypes on time, to cost and with the quality objectives achieved. This is achieved using core quality tools including PPAP, APQP and PCD including full process flow, FMEA’s and control plans which enables us to consistently deliver high quality products to our customers. Our internal procedures dictate that the Project team must support operations for a minimum period of 90 days from product launch, guaranteeing a smooth transition to production.
Mould tooling, jigs and fixtures are typically sourced via our network of trusted and experienced suppliers. These are typically managed against a project timing plan to ensure that deadlines and key dates are clearly communicated to our supply base. Regular review meetings are held internally, with suppliers and with our customers to ensure that the relevant activities are on plan or, even better, ahead of schedule.
QUALITY
Quality is at the core of what we do. Consistently delivering high quality products is a key part of establishing and maintaining the positive, long term relationships that we have with our customers.
Mitras’ quality management system adheres and is accredited to IATF 16949 – the standard required for supply to Automotive OEM’s. We also hold ISO 9001, OHAS18001 & ISO14001 accreditations.
So that we can regularly verify the quality of our products and equipment, we have an in-house measurement facility complete with a CMM and standalone measurement arm for any larger components, tools, etc.
Another integral part of producing high quality components is proper maintenance of all tooling. To carry out such work, Mitras have our own in-house tool room complete with a brand new state of the art laser welder, lathe, milling machine and surface grinder.
Final Configuration
Once the components are painted, they will be either packed and shipped, or in many instances moved through to our finial configuration area. In this area we will assemble the components into the final modules, which are packed into dedicated stillages and shipped to our supply base. We presently supply components to Sweden, France, Poland, Austria, USA, Mexico and Brazil with other destinations coming on stream over the next 12 months.
