| Hoke
reaches ‘zero defects’ milestone in US Government supply |
Hoke
has announced reaching a milestone in the USA during 2002 by achieving
a ‘Zero Defects’ record over a total of 1200 government ‘GSI’
and ‘Non-GSI’ shipments dating back to 1993.
Designated
as a ‘Preferred Supplier’ by the Defense Logistics Agency
for the last three years, Hoke credits its on-going quality system improvements
to their evolution from an ‘inspection / detection’ based
process to one of ‘quality prevention’ by adopting new practices
such as statistical process control, design of experiments, strategic
process checks, delegated inspection representatives and supplier certification.
Hoke produces Gyrolok® compression tube fittings and instrumentation ball,
plug, metering and cylinder valves, cylinders and manifolds for the chemical,
petrochemical, oil and gas, industrial, government and OEM instrumentation
markets.
