Quality processing under internationally certified quality programs coupled with periodic audits to monitor implementation is necessary to produce consistent parts in compliance with the purchase orders. All DBC’s private label manufacturing plants are required to have TS-16949 or QS 9000 certification to conduct operations for consistent good quality and documentation. Audits are conducted regularly by DBC quality team and by our customer.

All testing required by the purchase specifications are monitored by DBC engineers on site at the manufacturing plant to assure compliance. Design qualification testing is coordinated with the customer to assure parts perform per the design. DBC is establishing international test facilities to regularly test designs for structural performance, corrosion and thermal cycling and other characteristics needed such as wear. Performance tests conducted in accordance with approved processes at or near the manufacturing sites provide significant cost and time saving.

DBC’s engineering pursuit for excellence and improving performance keeps us continually focused on R&D to seek better solutions. Recently DBC has been seeking improved life of wear components with the use of ultrasonic peening and cryogenic thermal cycling.
