Quality
Control
Herrick Filter's Design may be copied but Never the Quality. The goal of
our Quality Control Program is to insure that the filters leaving our
plant are consistently of the highest quality we are capable of
producing. The program features test which defines functional
performance of the product in various angles. Raw materials are
thoroughly inspected and tested in our laboratory to insure that they
meet our demanding specifications. Materials that don't measure up to
the specifications are rejected. At every phase of production, every
line of filters undergoes frequent and rigorous inspection and testing
to insure that our filtration products will deliver heavy-duty
performance.
Integrating Total Quality Management
throughout the organization enabled us to ensure minimum variance from
filter to filter and from order to order. But state of the art quality
systems alone are not enough to ensure high quality filtration products.
We believe high quality raw materials coupled with correct manufacturing
techniques determine the filtering efficiency and thus product
performance.
In the field of OEM automotive
filtration, knowing engine manufacturer’s quality standard specification
and having the up-to-date instruments and facilities to test these
standards guide our R&D and Quality Control people to continuously
improve our product quality. We, as an OEM filter supplier to Japanese
car makers, try to exceed car manufacturers’ requirements to ensure
convenient and trouble-free use of our products.
