Most manufacturing industries are competing on a globally-competitive playing field, where success requires lowest cost, highest quality, and the ability to quickly respond to changes in the market. The M&P Lab, with its in-depth understanding of a wide range of materials and processes, as well as laboratory testing services, can be a vital partner to help manufacturers win.
Among the areas where The M&P Lab can help are:
- Process qualification: evaluation of material characteristics to ensure that new processes or process changes are delivering results in compliance with specifications.
- Process troubleshooting: when a process produces good parts one day, and scrap the next, the cause must be quickly identified and corrected. Fortunately, most materials have a good “memory,” and their processing history can be deduced by appropriate laboratory testing and evaluation techniques.
- Supplier qualification: bringing a new vendor on line, or qualifying an existing vendor on a new part or process usually requires a qualification process. The M&P Lab’s materials experts can prepare specimens for examination, or handle the entire evaluation process.
- Acceptance testing: The M&P Lab can ensure that incoming raw materials or parts from your vendors meet your requirements, either through spot audits or on a continuing basis.
In most of these situations, response time is critical, and The M&P Lab can provide turn-around times to meet clients’ needs. |
