Quality

GAIA Converter has always operated a quality system in accordance to ISO 9000 standards and has been certified to the latest ISO 9000 v2000 standard in 2003. This standard is now used as a platform for developing a greater appreciation of the quality required by our customers. Our success in this area is recognized by independent approval such as Underwriters Laboratories (UL) and is shown as approved supplier by several major electronics companies.
However quality is not a static objective and GAIA Converter is continuously improving in this field and is particularly active with :

Design for Product Reliability :
In order to provide reliable products, GAIA Converter has always maintained stringent specifications with the aid of the most advanced theorical and experienced feedback tools including :
• Stress analysis : GAIA Converter products undergoes stress analysis and charged factors for each single components used in our products.
• MTBF : GAIA Converter calculations are done according to the MIL-HDBK-217F method with conservative quality and environment factors.
• Accelerated stress analysis : all GAIA Converter new designs are submitted to accelerate stress (thermal chocks, thermal cycling, humidity) to analyze reliability.
• Experiences Failure Rate : every product return through failure during operation is carefully analyzed and failure cause monitored.

Manufacturing with Statistical Method for Prevention :
To manufacture high-quality products, the monitoring at the end of the production process is not enough.
Quality has also to be “ designed-in ” during process and production process. This is achieved by means of appropriate measurements and tools; among them GAIA Converter has implemented :
• Statistical Process Control (SPC) for key process parameters all along the manufacturing flow. By using SPC, GAIA Converter can establish very quickly deviations from process goal. This allow control of the process parameters run out of specified limits for prevention and ensure a process durability.
• Average Outgoing Quality (AOQ)
All products manufactured are 100 % tested for acceptance or rejection. The results of this inspection are recorded and monitored carefully.
• Statistical Product Monitoring (SPM)
All products parameters are recorded to statistically monitor the average deviation.

Customer Audit Quality :
GAIA Converter welcomes customer quality audits or independent quality audits on behalf of customers.
We have already been audited by independent organization such as Qualifas acting for european aerospace companies, LCIE acting for UL approval, and major electronics companies from around the world.
