Quality and traceability
Requirements are assessed against the drawing—not a generic tolerance promise
Tolerances are assessed against component geometry, material, production method and drawing requirements during quotation and technical review.
Inspection planning, traceability and production records are applied in line with the component requirement and Capricorn Components' quality management system.
