Quality

The forming of the Quality Management System began with the certification of our company for compliance with GOST R ISO 9001:96 and subsequent recertification under its more current version — GOST R ISO 9001:2001. Since 2001, the establishment and development of the Quality Department in the company structure with regular training and expansion of the employees’ competencies has laid the foundation for the future QMS and ensured high ratings of product quality.

One of the significant stages in the development of our company’s Quality Management System was the phased implementation of the requirements of international standard ISO/TS 16949 in the period from 2008-2012. This is a generally accepted standard in the global automotive industry. We also ensured compliance with special requirements of RENAULT and GM in the field of Quality Management. During that period, we successfully re-engineered all QMS processes and introduced 8D problem-solving methodology. The elements of QS 9000 (FMEA, APQP, MSA, PPAP), the Lean Production Policy, 5S methodology have been implemented in production. The result of this tremendous effort by our specialists was successful certification of the company's QMS for compliance with ISO/TS 16949 and QSB requirements of GM AVTOVAZ.

The high level of development of the Quality and Factory Management Systems of the company, corresponding to the world standard, was further established in the course of the Supplier Health Check and ASES (Alliance Supplier Evaluation Standard) audit conducted by the specialists of the RENAULT-NISSAN-AVTOVAZ alliance. As a result of this assessment, the company received a B rating (Optimal level, 63 points).

Every year, our company successfully passes QMS audits performed by specialists of the German company TUV HESSEN to confirm compliance with the requirements of the IATF 16949:2016 standard.
