Quality & Inspection
Reviews, inspections, and tests are regularly conducted at appropriate stages to verify that the requirements have been met.
Cellular Manufacturing
Dawson utilizes cellular manufacturing for many of its medium to long-term projects. In a cellular manufacturing environment, workstations and equipment are arranged to support the smooth flow of materials and components, controlled quality assurance, and overall reduced process time from start to finish.
Since this process is based upon one-piece flow, this manufacturing method reduces the amount of time for a single product to move from start to finish. The cellular manufacturing method also dramatically reduces waste since products move through the cell one piece at a time.
Defects are quickly detected and addressed, resulting in minimal disruption to the production schedule. In a more conventional approach of batch-and-queue, defects may not be as easily detected before an entire batch is produced.
