Atec, Inc., has procedures in place, under our AS9100D and ISO9001 certifications, for ensuring contract compliance.  Every incoming component, and outside service, is integrated into the final assembled product and verified by a properly trained inspector.  These inspectors function independently of the manufacturing operations and report through a chain of command, which is separate from Production reporting to Atec, Inc.’s President.  Atec, Inc. maintains accuracy in reporting at all levels throughout the plant with checks and balances normally associated with much larger companies.  Documentation, such as Production Routers, Inspection Reports, Acceptance Test Procedures, Engineering Change Proposals, and Discrepant Material Reports, requires multiple signatures from personnel across different departments and supervisory reporting structures. Quality is the job of everyone at Atec.
