Our team in Ostrava/CZ has just successfully passed the audit of an important customer from the automotive sector – congratulations to Petr Fančovič, Petr Škubala and the entire EBG plastics team!
Reason enough for us to take a look behind the scenes today:
When Petr Fančovič started as quality manager at EBG plastics in Ostrava in 2008, he and his team faced a major challenge: setting up a completely new quality management system. After all, it was not only a matter of producing precise plastic parts down to the 100th of a millimeter in the best quality, but also of being able to monitor and track them. And this despite the fact that no QM system had been established on site at that time.
For the company’s own concept, flow charts were created above all, based on the actual processes. Because the motto is quite clear: We want what we put on paper to reflect the actual workflows in our production and in our processes! Only in this way – Petr Fančovič is convinced of this – can a QA team be truly efficient and helpful for a company and, above all, for the colleagues from production. And so the high requirements of the IATF-16949 standards are not just a duty for EBG plastics, but have actually become helpful tools that systematically advance work in all areas.
At the time, QA started with three people – one per shift. Inspections were carried out using simple measuring equipment such as sliding gauges, micrometers, profile projectors and the gauges produced in the company’s own toolmaking department, before the first 3D systems were introduced in 2010 to ensure high product quality.
Today, four measuring technicians operate the CMM measuring machine and our computer tomograph. This way, we guarantee highest precision standards and monitor even the most complex dimensions of plastic parts. In addition, the CT technology allows our QA team to facilitate the achievement of perfect part quality in a preventive manner as well: Through filling studies, moldflow analyses and even the fluoroscopy of prototypes, we obtain important parameters on filling, shrinkage and warpage in advance.
