Our QC department and systems are the backbone of our business. At the heart of Acme’s business is the most important thing to understand “What our Customers wants” and to ensure that we deliver the same “Effectively”, “Consistently” and “On time”. Every factory that we choose and work with is personally audited by our QC team based on our in-house 3M Formula:
- Management: To us people are the most important thing. The thinking and the attitude of the owner / people who run the factory is the key is to ensure that factory is in sync with you/your customers thinking.
- Material: The various quality Raw Materials which the factory use to make the final product are essential because only a good raw material can result to a good final product.
- Machinery: The manufacturing settings and the machinery used at various level of the manufacturing process are the key of the final quality. It is not important to have the latest machinery but is important to have good and well maintained machine with the correct settings.
Acme’s QC teams believes in auditing the factory based on this 3M Formula and once the factory is selected, it becomes a part of our vide Galaxy of partner factories with whom we like to develop our business relationship.
