Meaning of 'Quality' at Santec
"When one considers that any SANTEC Product / Equipment works
perfectly for more than 20 years without breaking down, then there is no
need to mention anything more about Quality of SANTEC Products
..
We are a group of Quality conscious technocrats & strictly believe in
following eight dimensions of Quality
.
· Performance
· Features
· Reliability
· Conformance to the requirement of the application.
· Durability
· Serviceability
· Aesthetics
· Perceived Quality
Quality Control Measures
For us, quality is the end result of effective planning, concerted efforts
and determined execution. Hence, to guarantee the quality of products, we
subject each of our products to stringent quality control measures. Each
product goes through strict inspection and quality tests periodically, right
from the time of selection of materials & components till the final
assembly of the machines. We have an enviable track record of order
delivery, with zero defects.
Reliability Tests
Besides the regular testing, to ensure complete reliability and foolproof
quality, each machine is compulsorily subjected to three days & nights
or 72 hours of reliability testing, before it leaves the factory.
"Quality is an absolute"
A product either conforms to its requirements or it doesn't. If it
conforms, its quality. If it does not, it's something else. Consider the
field goal kicker in football. The Quality requirement is to kick the ball
over the crossbar, between the goal posts. If the ball sails anywhere
between the posts & over the bar, points are awarded. That is Quality.
If the ball goes anywhere else in the entire universe, it's something else.
It is not quality & it does not matter how close it was. Quality is an
absolute.
"The Boss is Responsible for Quality"
That means the boss must set the performance standard & provide the
where withal to produce a Quality product. If the product doesn't meet the
Quality requirements, it's the boss's fault. While the responsibility for
quality can be shared, the boss's share never gets smaller. The
responsibility for quality cannot be given to the quality department,
quality circles, or any other person. The product looks like the management.
"People perform to the standards set or accepted by the
managers".
"The product looks like the management". It means employees want
to know what is expected of them. They spend a good bit of time wondering
what their leader / managers wants. If the leader does not make performance
standards clear, people will perform to a standard they think their leader
wants.
