SimpleQuE Case Study: Manufacturing Technology, Inc.

With a customer list including Boeing, Pratt Whitney, Honeywell, GE and Federal Mogul, Manufacturing Technology, Inc. is an integral part of our daily lives. From homes and offices to roads and highways, MTI specializes in friction welding joining solutions for manufacturing processes. But when some of their customers required MTI to obtain AS9100 certification and NADCAP accreditation, they looked to simpleQuE for assistance.

Initially, simpleQuE conducted a Gap Analysis of the quality management system at MTI. Then, they developed an action item Gantt chart to address those standards. From there, simpleQuE broke down what tasks needed to be accomplished in order to meet the standards previously set.

Internally, simpleQuE conducted audits and an array of training sessions to aid in the certification and accreditation process and to simplify the outcome.

“Each representative was very professional, knowledgeable, efficient and caring. They were clearly invested in the success of MTI obtaining the AS certification and NADCAP accreditation right along with us,” said Liz Pendl, EH&S/Quality Coordinator at the time.

After five short months of working with simpleQuE, MTI was certified to ISO 9001 and AS9100. SimpleQuE also helped MTI prepare for their NADCAP accreditation, which was achieved one month later.

“I highly recommend simpleQuE to other organizations who are interested in being successful in any accreditation or improving their quality management system. Working with simpleQuE was a smart decision. We relied upon their wisdom, knowledge, and guidance throughout the process, and the successful results speak for themselves!” expressed Pendl.

The value simpleQuE brought to MTI was recognized with an ongoing partnership. SimpleQuE continues to support MTI with periodic training and ongoing internal audits.

“We found the experience and depth of the simpleQuE auditors to be so valuable, that we decided to continue with simpleQuE performing our audits.”
