Manufacturing Defect Causality Services
The primary mission of a quality control group in a manufacturing environment is to be sure defective product is not released to the end-user.
Manufacturing defects result from one of, or a combination of, three major causes:
- Defects in materials
- Defects in processes and processing
- Defects introduced through handling, packing, storing, or external contaminating events
Often the symptomatic defect is not a linear result of a single event but rather a compound factor. Crane Engineering excels in the forensic investigation of root causes, not just the identification and description of defects. Our expert staff can diagnose and analyze in metals, chemicals, and electrical disciplines. Our internal laboratory is equipped to perform sequential testing and investigation, identifying defects, tracing causes in materials and processes, and defining a corrective action that is economically and efficiently the best option for the client.
Our experience with manufacturing processes and attention to detail will ensure you receive the information you need to determine the cause of the problem.
