Delivering products and services defect-free, on time, every time and "Being the Best" is our standard of performance. We commit to satisfy applicable requirements, increase customer satisfaction, grow the business, and make UNICOM Engineering "The Best" place to work through the continual improvement of our business management system.
Quality Leadership System
UNICOM Engineering has an unwavering commitment to quality, as illustrated in the processes we use to maintain it. We employ a proprietary Quality Leadership System (QLS), a practice we administered to enhance quality controls. The system itself ensures consistency, scalability, and efficiency in the way we manufacture products and provide services to our customers. QLS delivers value to customers by establishing more specific processes and methods that help ensure flawless execution of manufacturing. Relative to customer support and services, QLS is also tailored to improve the processes that directly impact customer workflow, collaboration, and daily interaction. We are committed to continual improvement of our Quality Leadership System to make it more effective while complying with requirements.
Customer Focus
UNICOM Engineering designed QLS to measure customer satisfaction metrics and implement customer-facing programs. The QLS process requires the collection of customer feedback during all phases of engagement –from initial design to prototype, production, and general availability. All of our program and account managers are active participants, as they act as our customers' conduit to UNICOM Engineering's internal works. Our global technical support team is accountable as well, as they assist customers, answer application questions, assist in troubleshooting, and recommend effective solutions.
Process Management
QLS establishes specific processes and methods that help ensure flawless execution of manufacturing and improve the processes that directly impact customer workflow, collaboration, and daily interaction. UNICOM Engineering's business systems are mapped and interconnected to QLS to facilitate flawless transitions between processes from order management to manufacturing test, and routing control systems. Our highly integrated information infrastructure helps monitor and collect data at critical points and creates a closed-loop relationship with our business processes.
Continual Improvement
Continual improvement is driven by our corrective action process, which applies across all functional groups. The corrective action process identifies containment activities, action plans, root cause analysis, and corrective actions that are co-managed by process owners and verified by QA engineers for effectiveness. Suppliers play a vital role by providing technical input, so that product issues are diagnosed at the source.
Quality Leadership System (QLS) in action
UNICOM Engineering’s quality assurance personnel, with the support of senior management and various cross-functional teams, help to manage the integrity and compliance of QLS. To achieve this, QA personnel frequently measure and audit critical functional areas, conduct periodic management reviews, and drive the corrective actions tied to improvement. Senior management takes an active role in maintaining QLS standards by reviewing quality objectives, performance data, and resource requirements. Among the critical areas measured are process performance, product performance, and customer satisfaction.
Process Performance
Quality engineers regularly monitor the performance of QLS to make sure that all processes are functioning correctly. The QLS includes the following vital methods to support product development:
- Customer engagement
- Design and development
- Configuration control
- Order fulfilment
- Supply chain management
- Operations
- Customer support
- Customer satisfaction
- Training and development
- Continual improvement
Product Performance
Quality engineers monitor product performance to help drive constant improvement.
- Customer Experience including return rates and confirmed failures
- Manufacturing Yields including in-process failure rates
- Supplier Quality including service, delivery, and product performance
Measurement & Analysis
Sound business and engineering decisions are based on real data and thorough analysis. UNICOM Engineering tracks product quality at the earliest test stages to identify trends and calculate the Predicted Annual Failure Rate (PAFR) to predict field reliability. Contributors to product failures are analyzed early in the product lifecycle to determine root cause(s) and corrective action(s).
Quality Engineering
Quality is key to our success. We maintain a staff of quality engineers that monitor our customer’s product quality, as well as UNICOM Engineering’s factory processes. They also maintain our ISO 9001. Here’s a complete list of the services they perform:
- Supplier failure analysis and corrective action requests
- Supplier quality scorecards
- Non-conforming material review/return to vendor
- UNICOM Engineering in-process WIP quality reporting and analysis
