Mission-Critical Manufacturing;
There IS a Difference!™
Calumet’s Mission-Critical Manufacturing™ methodology is engineered to create highly reliable circuit boards and high performance relationships. This total quality management approach to manufacturing focuses on process as well as product. There are four key elements; Capability, Commitment, Control, and the Customer.
Capability
Manufacturing mission-critical reliability requires a facility capable of producing it. Financial strength determines investment levels in equipment, technology, and training. Calumet's financial strength enables continuous improvement of all three. A 100,000 square foot facility located in Calumet, MI, provides circuit boards solutions that match the mission.
Commitment
Quality systems are not self-fulfilling. Calumet is committed to providing value beyond performance. Mission-Critical applications require more than compliance to a standard and/or conformance to a specification. Exchanges between providers and users achieve target conditions by optimizing input to produce desired output. Dock-to-stock dependability increases the value of quality while lowering its cost.
Control
Process control is the realization of capability. Calumet's process methodology establishes best practices to achieve targeted conditions while minimizing the resources required to achieve them. Establishing, maintaining, and improving capability produces measurable results. Mission-Critical Manufacturing means lower deviation and fewer defects.
Customer
Mission-Critical Manufacturing™ defines a customer as all users of products and/or services. The source of the both and considered providers. Exchanges between providers and users present an opportunity to create, capture, and deliver value. Mission-Critical Manufacturing focuses on building provider/user partnerships that create value streams within the supply chain. Superior products, value-based strategies, and customer-centric services add up to compelling solutions!
