The newly completed high-temperature vulcanized silicone rubber workshop in Xinjin Base of Bluestar Chengrand Institute recently embraced a customer delegation composed of Siemens (China) Surge Arrester Company, and Siemens (Germany) Headquarters sales representatives and its customer TD HV Consult Company (Canada) representatives to review its quality control system and production process.
Because of the particularity of the power industry, customers require that the qualified rate of products must reach 100 percent to ensure the continuous and stable operation of the power system of downstream customers. German customers have always been famous for their strict professionalism. They have put forward specific requirements for the quality management system of Bluestar Chengrand Institute: products should have perfect quality control plans, product traceability, and advanced on-site management; and the product production and management process and quality control process should reach or even surpass the level of its foreign counterparts.
During the audit in the high-temperature glue workshop, the delegation consulted a series of process documents and conducted a production site audit. By reviewing the key quality control points and the inspection process of raw materials, intermediate products, and finished products in the production process of the division, the whole process of finished product inspection is strictly followed, fully affirming the quality system of Bluestar Chengrand Institute. The delegation agreed that the quality control and on-site management of the high-temperature glue division are effective and controllable, and the products are trustworthy, clearly expressing its intention for further cooperation. “Chengrand Manufacturing” is once again recognized by international high-end customers.
