TPS Quality Systems & Assurance: ISO Certified Manufacturing
At TPS Ltd, we are committed to maintaining the highest standards of quality in our manufacturing and production processes. Our quality assurance framework is built on internationally recognised standards, including ISO 9001:2015, IATF 16949:2016, and ISO 13485:2016, ensuring compliance with industry regulations and customer expectations for the automotive, medical device and industrial sectors.
Certified Quality Management Systems
Our approach to quality is guided by internationally recognised standards, ensuring consistent performance, regulatory compliance, and customer satisfaction.
- ISO 9001:2015 – General quality management principles for consistent performance and customer satisfaction.
- IATF 16949:2016 – Automotive industry-specific quality system ensuring defect prevention and variation reduction.
- ISO 13485:2016 – Medical device quality management for safety and regulatory compliance.
Comprehensive Quality Assurance Tools and Techniques
We employ a range of rigorous quality management techniques and tools to ensure product reliability, safety, and consistency throughout production These include:
Process Failure Modes and Effects Analysis (PFMEA)
We systematically analyse potential failure modes in our processes to identify and mitigate risks before they impact production. This proactive approach enhances product quality and reduces costly defects.
Validation & Qualification
Our validation protocols ensure that manufacturing processes, equipment, and systems consistently produce products that meet defined specifications and requirements. This includes:
- Installation Qualification (IQ)
- Operational Qualification (OQ)
- Performance Qualification (PQ)
Measurement System Analysis (MSA)
To ensure accurate and reliable data, we conduct MSA studies to evaluate the measurement systems used in production. This includes:
- Gauge Repeatability & Reproducibility (Gauge R&R)
- Bias, Linearity, and Stability Analysis
Statistical Process Control (SPC)
We implement real-time SPC techniques to monitor and control production processes. This ensures variability is minimised, reducing defects and improving overall quality performance.
Inspection & Data Traceability
For critical components, we use customer-specified inspection methods to ensure product integrity. All measurements are fully logged and traceable, supporting both regulatory compliance and continuous improvement.
Why Quality Matters at TPS
Quality assurance at TPS isn’t just a requirement, it’s a mindset. By implementing these robust quality systems and assurance methods, we guarantee that our products meet the highest industry standards, ensuring customer confidence and satisfaction.
