Maxim's
continuing commitment to a total quality system is demonstrated throughout
our MQAS procedures, originally based on compliance to the ISO 9002
quality assurance system.
This familiar system helps maintain a high level of quality in both
product manufacturing and distribution.
Quality is a top priority throughout our company.
The Maxim Team works to give you the finest in metalworking fluids
and lubricants.
The initial
phase of the MQAS cycle begins with purchasing and raw materials inventory
control. The purchasing and
inventory phase ensures approved inventory with a maintained depth for
present and future requirements.
The
pre-inspection phase employs selected products from approved vendors.
This quality control measure involves our own testing of raw
materials, as well as pre-inspection of packaging/containers and
compounding equipment.
The
manufacturing phase includes quality production techniques to complete
each blend according to
product specification. Process
control is maintained in part by the utilization of batch control numbers.
In addition to regulatory information, all containers are marked
with its batch and formula number.
These
control numbers are also used as reference for final QC approval and
product distribution. This enables
Maxim to employ a tracking system to trace each formulary component back to
evidence of quality control documentation;
pre- and post-inspection; as well as to the specific supplier of
each raw material used. Extensive testing for formulary control, in-process production
and final product evaluation is performed before any product is
approved for packaging. Samples
and data from each batch are retained by batch number.
Quality
Customer Service is the most visible segment of our MQAS.
Our representatives are well-trained in processing your sales
orders and expediting shipments according to your requisitions.
Our representatives work in concert with purchasing, production
planning, shipping/receiving, and quality managers to make sure all
customer contract/purchase order requirements are met.
The final phase
of MQAS is our commitment to continual improvement of our own quality
system. This phase is in
constant review, to meet the customer's quality requirements as an ongoing
service. We have achieved
approval as an audited, qualified manufacturer and distributor from many
various companies and industries. These
specific ratings are available upon request.
Throughout
all major phases, and all minor phases within, MQAS is our dedication to
your success by providing you with the finest in metalworking fluids,
lubricants, and process chemicals.
