Our Quality Management System (QMS) isn’t a buzzword or a checklist; it’s the backbone of how we’ve operated for over four decades. From the shop floor to final inspection, we’ve built processes that hold us accountable to the highest standards, because your reputation depends on it.
Operator Accountability
Every machinist at AEM is their own first inspector. Before a part moves to the next stage, the operator checks it using calibrated tools (micrometers, gauges, and other instruments) to confirm it matches your specifications. This isn’t an extra step; it’s how we start each job.
Dedicated Quality Control
After a part clears the shop floor, our Quality Control Department takes over. They perform a final review, double-checking dimensions, tolerances, and finishes. Whether it’s a prototype or a production run, nothing ships without passing this gate.
Material Mastery
We work with a wide range of materials (from aluminum and stainless steel to plastics and brass), and each behaves differently under machining. Our QMS accounts for these variables, with protocols adjusted for material-specific quirks to avoid surprises.
Finishing Touches, Flawless Results
Even the best-machined part can fall short if the finish isn’t right. Through partnerships with trusted suppliers, we offer coatings such as black oxide, zinc plating, and powder coating, all of which are inspected to ensure that durability and appearance meet expectations.
Tools That Tell the Truth
A QMS is only as good as the tools behind it. At AEM, we invest in equipment that leaves no room for doubt.
Rooted in Experience, Built for Tomorrow
Our QMS isn’t static. It evolves with technology, industry demands, and feedback from customers like you. For example:
Legacy Knowledge
Many of our team members have spent 20+ years at AEM, bringing deep insights into how materials and machines interact.
Problem-Solving Culture
If a part doesn’t pass muster, we diagnose why it happened and adjust the process to prevent it from happening again.
Why It Matters
A QMS is about peace of mind. When you work with AEM, you’re getting:
Consistency
The results stay predictable whether it’s your first order or your hundredth.
Transparency
We’ll walk you through our process, so you know exactly how we hit your specs.
Pride
We stamp our name on every job, and we stand behind it.
See for Yourself
Don’t take our word for it. Visit our facility, meet our team, and watch how we turn raw material into parts you can depend on. Our doors are open because we’ve got nothing to hide. Just a system that works, day in and day out.
