General Aluminum Quality
Our people, our plants and our management have an attitude with a passion for quality and continuous improvement. Whether we provide a raw casting or a machined & assembled component to our customer, we will always give our best effort with ever improving quality.
We are Team General Aluminum
The General Aluminum quality system is based upon IATF 16949:2016 which delivers structure for the quality system as well as a method of business management providing for continual improvement, emphasizing defect prevention, the reduction of variation and waste, and total customer satisfaction.
Quality personnel staff at every plant provides a system that includes a corporate quality manual, standard operating procedures, documented work instructions, and record retention. The quality system includes in-house metallurgical and dimensional laboratories, internal auditing, gauge calibration & control, and structured problem solving focusing on root cause analysis. Statistical process control is used extensively for key feature characteristics, especially in the machining & assembly process area. Layered Process Audit is widely used throughout every plant. Every casting produced includes traceability for chemistry and mechanical property through individual casting date & shift or by telesis marking onto the part.
At General Aluminum, change is not something to cause fear but something to be embraced & controlled. After all, how else does a company continuously improve performance and product? We strongly believe in customer notification, compliance with customer sample submission and implementation only after customer approval.
General Aluminum Quality is ready to serve you with a trained workforce, documented quality system, experience with automotive requirements, and a commitment for ever improving quality.
