Quality Control Program

Quality is an essential, inseparable part of every process at ADC. Our quality shows in every aspect of our business. A commitment to excellence is required of every employee at ADC, regardless of the job they do. ADC's quality policy is to assure conformance to product specifications through excellence of execution in the manufacture and delivery of our products.

ADC personnel are dedicated to providing our clients with creative, cost effective, and innovative engineering solutions of the highest quality. For this reason ADC has started a program to implement ISO 9001 throughout the company. ISO 9001 is one of ISO 9000 five universal standards for a Quality Assurance System that is accepted around the world. Currently 90 countries have adopted ISO 9000 as national standards.

The most comprehensive of the standards is ISO 9001, which deals with quality system requirements that can be used for external quality assurance purposes. It is used when conformance to specified requirements is to be assured by the supplier during design, development, production, installation, and servicing. The standards apply uniformly to companies in any industry and of any size. The International Organization for Standardization may be contacted directly at their web site, www.iso.ch.

ADC's quality program is composed of three parts, quality manual, standard operating procedures (SOP's) and forms. The first part, quality manual is the "roadmap" to our quality management system. The second part includes 36 standard operating procedures and the third part includes 28 forms that lay the foundation for ADC's quality management system. At ADC each operation is recorded on a traveler which is signed and dated by both the person performing the operation and by the person approving the work quality.
