Manufacturing Sciences Corporation (MSC) utilizes a documented Quality Assurance System that ensures our products meet customer requirements and expectations.The MSC Quality Assurance System is documented in the QA Manual and implements procedures that meet the quality requirements of ASME NQA-1. The requirements from ASME NQA-1 are also employed to meet 10 CFR 830 Subpart A and the US Department of Energy's QC-1.
Quality checkpoints are established for the manufacturing of products, starting at the proposal and contract stages and continuing through order entry, procurement of materials, manufacturing traveler reviews, development of inspection and test plans, and in-process and final inspections to ensure that customer requirements have been met.
Personnel performing the work provide the first line checks, and inspections are conducted by trained and qualified Quality Assurance personnel. MSC's Quality Assurance System is regularly evaluated through assessment, audits, and regulatory reviews. The MSC Quality Assurance team functions independently of manufacturing operations and can interrupt production at any point if quality standards are not being achieved during the process.
