- Total Quality Management Approach: Focused on consistently meeting customer requirements, continuous improvement, and risk mitigation.
- Data-Driven Improvement: Following the principle "What gets measured gets improved," quality metrics are tailored for each industry’s demands, from flight-critical aerospace parts to automotive components.
- Customer-Centric Mindset: Employees and suppliers are trained to capture the voice of the customer and integrate feedback systematically into design, manufacturing, and inspection processes.
- Employee and Supplier Empowerment: Every contributor, internal and external, is responsible for quality, building a culture of ownership and accountability.
- Proven Track Record: Rated #1 supplier by key customers and achieved ZERO findings in ISO 9001 audits for the past five years (audited by Perry Johnson Registrars).
- Process Thinking at Every Level: Every employee is trained to understand how their work impacts the final customer, supporting integrated, seamless process flows.
- Continuous Monitoring and Correction: Processes are closely tracked, and adjustments are made proactively to maintain performance and quality standards.
- Root Cause Focus: Robust use of 8D Corrective Action Reports ensures thorough problem-solving and sustained quality improvement.
Certification
- Certification Management Services: AMFAS helps customers manage agency certifications and approvals for components, products, facilities, and systems.
- Support Across Key Standards: Experience handling UL, CSA, VDE, FCC, UPC, and IAPMO compliance requirements.
- End-to-End Certification Assistance: From initial certification through ongoing surveillance audits, re-evaluations, and recertifications.
- Agency Coordination: Work directly with certification bodies to secure approvals for components and sub-assemblies used in customer products.
- Cost and Time Savings: Reduce customer burden by managing the complex, resource-intensive certification process.
Risk Mitigation
- Risk Management Through PPAP: Nearly all AMFAS-supplied parts go through the Production Part Approval Process (PPAP) to formally reduce risk before product release.
-
Two Key Goals of PPAP:
- Confirm engineering design and specification requirements are fully understood by all supply chain participants.
- Validate that the manufacturing process can consistently meet all requirements at production rates.
- Early Risk Identification: Risks are assessed early in development to maintain both product and process integrity, minimizing costly issues later.
- Speed-to-Market Advantage: Our PPAP process improves development timelines, giving AMFAS customers a competitive edge.
- Global Supply Risk Mitigation: AMFAS manages the full business agreement process with suppliers, minimizing customer risk when sourcing globally.
- Insurance Coverage: AMFAS maintains both Liability and Property Insurance for all products supplied and stored — a safeguard rarely offered by overseas manufacturers.
Quality Policy
- Quality performance is a commitment of excellence by each Amfas employee.
- It is achieved by teamwork, a process of continuous improvement, and risk management.
- We are dedicated to being the leader in providing quality products and services which meet or exceed the expectations of our customers.
- The Measurement of our success is through the achievement of quality objectives that results in a uniquely compelling value proposition.
PPAP
Production Part Approval Process (PPAP) ensures that manufacturing processes are fully validated before production begins. At Amfas International, PPAP is integrated across our global manufacturing network to confirm that every part meets engineering, material, and quality requirements. This includes design validation, material certification, dimensional inspection, and process capability checks.
- Our PPAP approach helps:
- Validate design intent before production
- Identify and mitigate process risks early
- Ensure dimensional accuracy and consistency
- Maintain full material traceability and compliance
The result is a smoother transition from prototype to production, with reduced risk, improved quality, and reliable performance at scale.
