FDA-Qualified Sub-Tier Supplier
Chart Denver is an authorized supplier for two FDA customers. Our ASME/TUV/PED based quality system is routinely audited and conforms to requirements for sub-tier suppliers for customers engaged in MRI medical equipment and medical patient oxygen.
Weights, Measures and Testing Equipment Calibration Program
Chart Denver Utilizes COGZ software for managing routine preventive maintenance of all our machinery. This includes re-calibration and certification that our CNC machines function within the specified tolerance ranges that in many case are +/- .0002”.
GE introduced us to Six Sigma in 1998. GE suppliers were required to implement this system as a joint initiative to improve quality, reduce variability and drive out cost. We started with one Champion, one Green Belt and one Black Belt. Since then we have added two more Champions, two Green Belts and one more Black Belt to our staff. Six Sigma has been used successfully to solve technically difficult and complex issues.
