Quality Control
Quality Engineered From the Start
Precision You Can Measure. Reliability You Can Trust.
At BERMO, quality is not something we check at the end of production. It’s built into every stage of the process. From the moment a part enters our system, we engineer for accuracy, repeatability, and long-term performance.
BERMO operates under a comprehensive Quality Manual designed to meet the requirements of ISO 9001:2015. Continuous improvement is embedded in our day-to-day operations, ensuring our processes evolve with new technologies, industry standards, and customer needs.
Advanced Metrology & Inspection Technology
To maintain precision and repeatability, we invest heavily in proven, high-accuracy inspection tools. Our metrology capability includes:
- Multiple Coordinate Measuring Machines (CMMs)
- Virtek laser scanning
- FARO Arm portable CMM
- S2I2 in-process inspection software
- Rockwell hardness testing
- Custom gauges and fixtures for complex assemblies
The BERMO Quality Advantage
Manufacturers choose BERMO because our approach goes far beyond inspection. We integrate quality with engineering, production, and process control to create a manufacturing environment designed for dependable outcomes.
Key strengths include:
- Customer-first processes that reduce risk and protect program schedules
- Preventive, data-driven decision-making
- Experienced quality engineers and inspectors across two production shifts
- A 285,000 sq. ft. facility combining stamping, forming, welding, machining, and assembly
- More than 70 years of manufacturing expertise supported by a continuous improvement culture.
Structured New Part Introduction (NPI)
A disciplined NPI process ensures every new part starts with a clear plan for manufacturability, inspection, and quality control. We collaborate directly with customer engineering and sourcing teams to define requirements, identify risks, and establish the most efficient and reliable production path.
Our NPI workflow includes:
- Early design-for-manufacturability (DFM) collaboration
- Development of process flows and part-specific control strategies
- PFMEA (Process Failure Mode and Effects Analysis) to proactively identify and mitigate risks
- Control plans detailing inspection steps and criteria
- Gauge and fixture planning to support repeatability
- Pre-production reviews, sample runs, and customer approvals when required
This upfront rigor shortens launch timelines, minimizes variation, and ensures stable production from day one.
Inspection Excellence Throughout Production
Quality at BERMO is reinforced through advanced metrology, operator training, and real-time data monitoring. Every stage of production, from material receipt through fabrication, assembly, and final review, follows defined inspection requirements backed by technology and documentation.
Examples of in-process quality controls include:
- Automated and manual inspections with the S2I2 inspection system
- Routine dimensional checks during production
- Scheduled verification of tools and processes
- Immediate feedback loops to prevent defects from moving downstream
This integrated approach ensures accuracy, consistency, and traceability.
Customer-Ready Validation and Documentation
BERMO supports a wide range of documentation and validation requirements across industries such as agriculture, heavy equipment, medical, fitness, industrial, and consumer products. Our system is built to deliver exactly what your program requires, including:
- First Article Inspection (FAI/FAIR)
- PPAP submissions (Levels 1–3)
- Capability and performance studies
- Final audits and product release documentation
Our reporting is structured, transparent, and aligned with your specifications.
Start With Confidence. Finish With Quality.
If your program demands consistency, documentation, and reliability, BERMO delivers quality engineered from the ground up.
