Exact Inc is certified ISO 9001:2000 compliant by IMS.

Exact Inc has developed a quality system to support our customers diverse needs.    Exact Inc has a managament team comited to ensuring our quality system through continous improvement.

Exact's quality system is based on providing parts of the highest quality by:

Process Control

Process control is accomplished via process specific procedures and work instructions to ensure quality throughout the production life cycle. The dynamic process activities subject to control and management oversight are:

• Work Order / Document / Drawing Control
• CNC Punch Robotics
• CNC Multi-Axis Press Break / Forming
• TimeSaver Finish Operations
• Welding Hardware Installation
• Conversion Coatings: Alodine, Anodize, Zinc Plating
• Paint, Powder Coating
• Product Handling
• Product Packaging

Training
It is Exact's Policy that all employees are properly trained, qualified and / or certified to perform assignments specific to their position without exception.

In order to ensure all personnel are qualified for their assigned tasks, the needs for training are assessed and identified by Management based upon verifiable prior experience, training nd education.

Training records are maintained in an Integrated Training Management Program by Quality and monitored during routine audits.

Purchasing
Department evaluates contractors on the basis of objective and impartial criteria, based upon the criticality of the product and/or services. This criteria include:

• History of Performance
• Demonstrated Capability
• Ability to meet Quality / Design Requirements
• Performance During Audit
• Price
• Ability to meet Delivery Schedule

Following evaluation, adjustments may be required of the contractor's management system.

Inspection and Testing
Inspection and tests are performed at predetermined points throughout the production cycle including receiving, in-process and final inspection.

Exact's inspection processes are referred to as "Product Certification" and are performed by the "Process Owners" (employees). Quality monitors the effectiveness of inspection through "Process and Product Audit". This practice fully supports "Total Product Quality" and "Total Quality Management" by the employees in each manufacturing area.

Quality verifies the accuracy of the finished product against the original customer order and specification. Inspection records are maintained for documentation of product inspection and test.

Integrity of Inspection and Test Equipment
Production of high quality sheet metal products is dependent upon the employment and use of regularly calibrated and adjusted test equipment in order to ensure accuracy and repeatability.

Exact has an established Precision Measurement Equipment (PME) calibration schedule based on the equipment's complexity, frequency of use and calibration history.

Control of Nonconforming Products
Raw materials, hardware, manufactured product assemblies and subassemblies containing departures or deviations from customer design specifications or internal workmanship standards are clearly identified and segregated as "nonconformance".

Disposition of all nonconforming materials are determined via MRB procedures through the Production and Quality Managers.

Corrective Action - Nonconforming Products
Exact's Corrective Action System focuses on root cause analysis and preventative measures that address internal or customer identified defects. This procedure applies to procured parts, materials, customer rejections, in-process anomalies and final inspection rejections.

Our corrective action procedures include documentation of ALL defects, defect cause analysis and disposition in our Integrated Quality Management System Database.

Audits
Internal Quality Audits are performed on a regularly scheduled basis and serve as analysis to the effectiveness of Exact's Quality / Business Management System. These Audits serve as the foundation of our internal record of quality.

Audit findings are reviewed with management and supervision. Corrective Action Requests (CARs) are generated for procedural nonconformance, recorded and assigned to responsible Supervisory individuals for action / follow-up and preventative action.
