Continuous
Improvement is at the heart of Precipart’s corporate-wide
philosophy. Everyone works toward improving production and
processes to ultimately satisfy customers with conforming
parts or assemblies, competitive costs and targeted delivery
schedules. Its implementation likewise has enabled the company
to grow and increase its potential in the marketplace.
In addition to corrective and preventive action plans
to root cause analysis, Precipart employs new systems,
invests in new technology – such as its OGP Vision
Systems for measurement validation – and develops
its people’s skills.
Our people are really key to Precipart’s success.
Our employees have individual training plan/schedule (ITP/S)
goals as part of their continued growth. We support and provide
on-the-job training, internal seminars and outside workshop
or classes to improve skills, provide proficiency and identify
cross-training candidates. This permits the best utilization
for resource deployment within the company.
