Processing Parts
- A job is reviewed during the quoting process, and reviewed even further upon receipt of an order. Special note is taken of challenging features, tight tolerances, and potential tooling requirements.
- Materials are ordered with certifications (whether our customers require them or not), and the cert numbers are documented on the Work Order. Certifications are supplied on request. Upon reciept, all material recieved by JCB Performance is identified by out unique color coding system. This insures the material used to make a product is correct and tracable.
- A detailed routing is generated outlining each step needed to make the part. The routing may include cutting stock, CNC turning, Ultrasonic Cleaning, Outside Process Operations/ Incoming Inspection, right down to how the parts will be packaged. Every operation is signed and dated, and quantities of accepted/rejected product are recorded.
- Some of our customers, especially those in the aerospace industry, require inspection documentation and/or certification products we manufacture. Such documents can be provided at no additional cost.
- Detailed Setup Sheets are created for every machine/process that is required to be setup. This insures that repeat runs will utilize the same procedure as the first and every subsequent run. It also provides the staff at JCB Performance a baseline to make future quality and process improvements.
- JCB Performance is DSQR Certified NHBB Astro division. NHBB Astro is a leading manufacturer in the Aerospace rod-end and spherical-bearing business. They regulate processes through quality initiatives including: AS9100 Rev B, D6-82479, ISO 9001:2000, and ISO 14001. Our proven track record for quality has enabled us to recieve this honor. It enables JCB Performance's quality control to certify products produced for NHBB Astro according to their standards. Product recieved from JCB Performance can go directly to stock eliminating the need for our customer to perform incoming inspection.

Six Sigma.
Its not everyday that we need to break out this toolbox, but when needed the tools of Six Sigma can play an invaluable role. In some cases, a manufacturing process will contain variation. When working with customers on challenging, tight tolerance applications, we have the ability to utilize the tools of Six Sigma to Define the issue, Measure the variation, Analyze the data, make Improvements, and Control the results during manufacture process. This is known as DMIAC method of Six Sigma which is the acronym for the 5 steps it employs. When the need arises for such tools, we look forward to sharing the results with our customers.
