Distinction Doors has introduced a quality control mark for its doors with three stages of colour-coding confirming inspection at each stage of production.
Each area is allocated a stamp dependent on their stage in the manufacturing operation – red for prep, green for paint, and black for glazing. Staff within these areas are tasked with conducting the final quality control inspection before the product is sent to the next process or despatch.
For further reassurance, every quality inspector has a unique identification number. This number is for internal use only, but it enables Distinction to pinpoint who conducted and passed each quality control inspection.
Jamie Kerrigan, associate director of quality said: “Quality assurance can require a change of culture. Everyone takes pride in their work. This initiative encourages the operatives to take greater responsibility and care with the products they handle and produce.
“I am pleased that so far, the feedback has been extremely positive. Staff are happy with the accountability. So too are our customers. They are responding well to the improved process and like the visual reminder.”
