Quality Control Personnel
Our Quality Control Manager is responsible for implementing quality control procedures and relies on the cooperation of the CEO, Shop Superintendent, and engineering departments to address any concerns. If any systematic error is discovered, the Quality Control Manager confers with management to decide on actions that will be taken to resolve the issue.
At FabMetals, quality control is a team effort. Purchasing is charged with ordering materials that satisfy our requirements and any applicable codes and standards. The Shop Superintendent distributes information to shop personnel, scheduling necessary time and equipment so that finished products are manufactured and shipped in accordance with project specifications and our quality standards.
