- → Increasingly our clients have need of a certain material performance and this is often linked to the composition
and processing of a material. to this end we can provide composition, charpy inpact tests, hardness tests and tensile strength tests all certificated by a UK test house.

QUALITY ASSURANCE
The quality system at Goudsmit UK serves as the backbone structure for the product quality and
operational sides of the business. By strictly adhering to this system we endeavour to supply as
high a quality product as possible to our clients while ensuring all the paperwork and traceability is
of the required standard. By adding TS16949 to our existing ISO9001 system we have greatly
improved our product development and industrialisation procedures. Furthermore, monitoring of
key performance indicators has meant the company responds quicker to any developing QA trends

PRE-MANUFACTURE QA
Goudsmit UK now puts all products through a rigorous system to check its suitability for manufacture. Tools used include; Advanced Quality Planning, Failure Mode Effect Analysis, Quality
Assurance Specification Sheets and finally historical statistical data to assess projected dimension
capabilities. These tools should highlight any shortcomings in either the process or design.
POST-MANUFACTURE
MEASUREMENT
As with all manufacturers we measure parts after manufacture. We record the results and submit
our parts with either an Initial Sample Inspection Report or a Production Inspection Report. We
have a range of QA equipment which is calibrated annually including:
→ Manual and automatic CMM machines
→ Permeameter, helmholz coils and gauss meters for magnets
→ Surface roughness, plating depth and hardness for finish
→ Thread gauges
→ Shadowgraph and microscopes for optical checks
→ Mass spectrometer for compositional checks
MEASUREMENT IN PRODUCTION
During production parts are measured dependent on the process and the criticality of the given
dimension. These measurements are normally inputted into an Statistical Process Control system
which will monitor and guarantee the repeatability of good parts from the production process. For
batch manufacture and low production volume other techniques, such as gauging, will be used

CORRECTIVE
ACTION
In manufacturing problems do arise and very often these can be something historic or something which was not forseen during the pre-manufacturing QA assessment. Goudsmit UK have a clear system of quarantine, non-conformance reporting, 8D resolution and finally a strong engineering team to ensure that when the product is not right, the correct root cause is identifified and the correct control is put in place to prevent reoccurrence.
