Quality Management System | To be a leading global information and communications technology industry service provider (TSP), Wistron's quality management system relies on the consistency of ISO speaking, writing, and execution, combined with continuous improvement. Our PDCA management cycle is an integral part of our daily operations, ensuring that high-quality policies can be implemented. The goal of our quality management system is to be a leading global information and communications TSP. Wistron emphasis on product quality management system combines assurance for both product design quality and manufacturing process quality control. The assurance of design is more important than failure prevention. In the initial stages of design the customer requirements for the product are transitioned into design requirements and design parameters and parts specifications. By integrating circuit board layout verification, product reliability verification, the operating system validation, audio visual verification, and electromagnetic radiation certification, they will support the development of a series of internal and external certifications designed to meet the customer demand for the products. In terms of the quality control process, through risk analysis and management, combined with statistical process control and acceptance sampling plan, we will be able to reduce product variation in the most economical way to ensure the quality of shipments. After the product shipment, with production yields and market feedback information, a EWG meeting with design and production departments will continue product quality checks to implement the spirit of the quality management system. |
Process Quality Inspection | Subsequent quality inspections at various stages of the manufacturing process enable us to execute our production plan in accordance with the preset schedule and to meet customers' quality expectations. The starting point of our testing process is a rigorous inspection that occurs immediately after parts are received, in order to ensure the quality of the supplier. The final check point is an inspection of assembled and packaged samples. Wistron also has proprietary test stations to implement a set of industry-standard tests. The results often exceed the expectations of customers. Wistron testing process is evolved from a wealth of information and communications products manufacturing experience. Through testing at the various stages of the process we will be able to confirm precise conformation to the original product design so that any problems in the production process can be correctly quickly. After combining with advanced tools, equipment and expertise we will be able to detect any defective boards / parts. At the same time we will provide in-depth analysis of specific issues in the production of information and communications products. After detecting the root causes of problems, QA engineers will assist to prevent similar problems from happening again, and thus raise the overall manufacturing standards. |
