Worldwide Quality Oversight
CAB Worldwide operates internationally, bridging the quality gap from the U.S. to overseas. But they don’t just process orders and send them along for production; they work closely with their factories to provide on the ground quality control and process oversight. CAB’s quality engineers reduce the total cost of ownership, providing continuous process oversight, process improvement analysis, operator training, and equipment qualification.
CAB's Six Sigma Certified Black Belts use the tight controls and repeatable functions found in SPC and lean manufacturing techniques to keep costs down while maintaining only the highest quality. In-process, post-production, and final inspections with coordinate measuring machines verify the quality of CAB’s parts and components. CAB can easily measure the quality of their operations, because quality is first defined then measured, analyzed, improved, and controlled throughout the manufacturing process. Documentation from CAB's extensive quality assurance program includes a master project plan, the results of PPAP and FMEA testing, and bubble drawing diagram-based tools with critical to quality trees. Gauge R&R studies are also a key asset of CAB's successful quality control program. CAB, which is ISO 9001 and 14000 certified, uses QMS, MRP, and ERP planning systems for its production facilities, which closely follow standards issued by ASTM, ANSI, and ASME. CAB also offers a full pattern shop and provides kitting, design fixturing, and gauging services. AutoCAD, SolidWorks, and Pro/E formatted files can be used to guide the manufacture of components, flanges, forgings, and machinery for the waterworks, wind, oil and gas, railroad, mining, and construction industries.
To CAB Worldwide, there is no "over there" in their operations, because they provide on the ground quality control and process oversight everywhere. Contact CAB to learn more, or review the following table.
