Certified Excellence in Every Component
At Rivimetal, quality is not just a process—it’s a commitment. Our Quality Management System is certified according to ISO 9001:2015, ensuring compliance with international standards for consistency, process control, and continual improvement.
We align our production and quality planning processes with AIAG Core Tools (APQP, PPAP, FMEA, MSA, SPC) and incorporate customer-specific requirements derived from IATF 16949 and VDA guidelines, especially for the automotive and defense sectors.
This ensures each component meets stringent technical, functional, and regulatory requirements.
Our Approach to Quality
1. Advanced Product Quality Planning (APQP)
Proactive planning for flawless execution.
We follow the APQP methodology to plan and validate every stage of production. From feasibility to final approval, our teams ensure that all process risks are addressed and quality objectives are built into the product from day one.
2. Failure Mode & Effects Analysis (PFMEA)
Preventing issues before they happen.
By applying PFMEA in the early phases of each project, we proactively identify potential failures and implement safeguards—delivering consistent results and dependable components across all industries we serve.
Quality Tools and Methods We Utilize
Flowchart Development
Process flowcharts define manufacturing and inspection steps with clear control points for each project.
FMEA
Applied during design and process planning to identify potential failure modes and implement preventive actions.
Control Plans
Documented plans outlining critical characteristics, tolerances, inspection methods, and reaction strategies.
First Article Inspection (FAI)
Conducted at tool release using full dimensional reports to validate the accuracy of initial production runs.
Statistical Process Control (SPC)
Real-time monitoring of critical parameters ensures process stability and data-driven decision-making.
Measurement System Analysis (MSA)
Confirms the capability and repeatability of measurement equipment and operators.
