“A QM certificate, though, is no warranty for an optimal corporate organisation. Quality must be practised, and this requires 100 per cent backing of the quality management system by the top executives.” 

The meaning of this statement taken from the website QZ-online.de is clear: unless the management gets fully behind their QM system, it will not be possible to convince the workers of its necessity, and in such a company systematic production of good quality becomes really difficult.

At VORMANN, the Management fully supports its Quality Management and has been keen from the very beginning to get all areas and corporate departments involved in it.

Continuous quality audits are a way to ensure that quality remains a top priority at VORMANN, because the company wants to keep its promise of consistent good quality given to its customers.

The following conditions must be fulfilled by all products bearing a CE mark:

• evidence of conformity to the relevant directives
• existence of a monitoring system
• existence of a declaration of performance

The CE mark affixed to any given product indicates that this product complies with the requirements of the applicable harmonised European directives. The prerequisites for CE marking of products used in building construction are specified in the Construction Products Regulation (CPR) 305/2011 (EU).

CE labelling for numerous products subject to the Construction Products’ Regulations, such as angle joints, joist hangers and other wood connectors, as well as adjustable support shoes and other post-bearers, is further evidence of our endeavour to ensure transparency of quality and safety standards.

The CE mark is affixed directly on our products as far as this is technically feasible and/or on the pakaging labels.

The assurance of product quality in ongoing production is secured by worker self-assessment.
Following intensive training, the workers on the production floor assume personal responsibility for quality during production. A comprehensive electronic inspection schedule is available for every product. Via terminals installed in the production plant, the workers can view this inspection schedule, which specifies precisely the quality parameters to be checked. Any deviations detected are entered in our QM system as feedback. 

From this information, the system compiles daily reports that are used to remedy any faults that have been detected by taking appropriate action.

In this way, VORMANN ensures consistent good quality for every product that leaves its production plant.
