Quality control  

Quality control is a set of practices adopted to ensure that products and services meet established standards.   

It ranges from continuous monitoring of production stages to statistical quality assessment, using methods such as DPMO (Defects Per Million Opportunities) or PPM (Parts Per Million).  

These methods help ensure that each unit produced meets quality requirements and allows for detailed analysis to reduce defects and continually improve processes. 

Methods implemented at Indumak  

At Indumak, one of the core quality control methods is DPMO or PPM, an essential statistical metric in high production environments. This methodology allows quality to be assessed in terms of defects per million units produced.   

The concept of DPMO or PPM has its roots in Six Sigma, a statistical approach that aims to reduce variations in processes and consistently improve quality.   

The higher the sigma level of a process, the lower the probability of defects and the higher the company’s performance.  

Benefits of implementing a quality culture  

The main objective of quality control is to ensure that all manufactured products strictly meet customer expectations and requirements.   

This involves complying with technical specifications and delivering reliable products. Below, you will learn about the 5 main benefits of implementing a quality culture in the industry. 

1. Cost reduction

Implementing effective quality control can lead to a significant reduction in operational costs. 

Less rework means fewer hours spent correcting errors, which results in resource and time savings.    

2. Compliance

Maintaining a high rate of compliance with standards and regulations is crucial to ensuring product integrity and safety.

Consistent compliance demonstrates corporate responsibility and commitment to ethical and safety standards, reinforcing customer trust. 

3. Brand reputation

A reputable brand image is built over time through products that are reliable, durable and consistently meet market expectations.   

The brand’s positive reputation opens doors to new business opportunities and strategic partnerships, consolidating its position in the market.  

4. Competitiveness

High-quality products position the brand advantageously compared to competitors.   

Quality is not just limited to the final product, but encompasses the entire product lifecycle, from design to after-sales support.   

Customers value consistency, reliability and innovation, factors that can differentiate the brand in the competitive market.

5. Customer satisfaction

Reliable and consistent products are essential to increasing customer satisfaction and loyalty.   

Customer satisfaction is not just a performance indicator, but a reflection of the ability to understand and exceed customer expectations, building lasting and mutually beneficial relationships.
