Rotor Clip USA and Rotor Clip Ltd. are now
formally certified to IATF 16949:2016, the new
automotive standard replacing the previous one
known as TS16949 .
Rotor Clip is proud to be among the first 50
companies in the world to pass the IATF 16949 audit.
The primary focus of the IATF 16949 standard
is the development of a Quality Management
System that stresses continuous improvement
with the goal of preventing defects and waste
throughout the supply chain. The key to this is
risk assessment, driving the organization to learn
from the many inputs it experiences such as
customer complaints, internal and external audits
and improvement efforts to provide better product
and service to the customer.
Rotor Clip has instituted a number of specific
changes to comply with the requirements and,
more importantly, the spirit of the standard.
These include installing digital gauges on certain
processes to automatically output data for more
efficient analysis; automating lab equipment
maintenance to ensure testing is done on a
timely basis so that customer shipments are not
delayed; improving the production of our wire EDM
machines by selecting premium brass wire to
maximize available cutting time and produce tools
quickly and efficiently.
