Projects within the Oil and Gas industry – upstream or downstream – require reliable and comprehensive quality control programs. Equipment used to explore for, extract, contain, transport, and refine hydrocarbons represent the core assets of any organization operating within the Oil and Gas sector.
Newly manufacturing top-quality equipment and ensuring the reliability of existing equipment is essential to the success of any Oil and Gas extraction project. With the rapid price fluctuations in the energy market seen in the past decade, ensuring production stability is a high priority, alongside adherence to industry and international standards.
AQF has developed a suite of services that can offer you unparalleled transparency into your industrial manufacturing projects. From materials verification to inspections, the AQF Industrial Division is prepared to be your long-term quality control partner.
How Can AQF Help YOUR Business?
If you have clients that are relying on you to provide a quality product in every shipment then do not settle for inspection companies who use untrained and underpaid local inspectors.
AQF QA teams are trained and our inspectors often have an engineering background. We'll make sure you have the right team for the job and that your industrial products are carefully and thoroughly evaluated.
You guys are quite efficient in making sure that you are in constant communication with our vendors to set up a time and day to have inspections handled... InTouch definitely pushed to make sure that inspections would be done in a timely manner. Any corrective actions that had to take place were executed well before the exit factory date.
Since InTouch does a more detailed inspection than what we had depended on with the factories, the quality of the products has improved. Where before when we might find 25 AQL defects, now it's down to three or four,because the factory knows that we want that cut back and InTouch is going to find it.
InTouch's auditing reduced the level of risk, whether known or unknown, to our company. From the audit findings provided by InTouch, we were much more equipped to make the correct business decision with regard to an acceptable level of risk. The InTouch audit secured our decision making process.
One of our customers had been through multiple suppliers year after year and had been let down with returns and rejections. With InTouch as our eyes and ears on the ground, we retained that business for 5 years without one single rejection or complaint.
The speed that we get the reports is always good. We had an experience with some other inspectors where we had to wait an extra day to get the reports. Getting the report as soon as we can is very important, so we can make a decision and give feedback back to the factory.
From beginning to end, InTouch is so easy to work with. The inspection report is literally there the next morning when I come into work. It really makes my job easier.
