Quality 

Post Corporatization, AVNL has put in various stringent Quality Assurance/Quality Control procedure in their 5 Units/ Factories. Some of the measures are as follows.

 Quality Assurance Methodology 

i. Characteristic/performance check 

ii. Reliability/endurance check

iii. Surveillance, Quality Audit (Process and Product) check

 Also, various quality assurance audits like process audit, document audit, surveillance audit, audit of input material and inhouse manufacturing process, QAPs etc are part of internal quality system.

 Dedicated Quality control personnel have been posted at various stages of production/manufacture in the units. The process of QC starts right from input material to the production/manufacture of the product.

 Also, QC reports, test reports, inspection reports etc are issued by the QC in the units at every stage of the manufacturing process. Whenever a quality issue is noted, CAPA (Corrective and Preventive Action) mechanism is put in place to ensure that the issue/defect does not recur. 

In order to have quality products as per laid down procedures, various test equipment, jigs, fixtures, tools have also been positioned to ensure that all the parameters and specifications are met. Necessary calibration of the test equipments, jigs, tools are also carried out in a periodical manner and test reports for the same are issued wherever necessary.

 As the units under AVNL are manufacturing Armoured Vehicles, the final product has to pass through Final Acceptance Inspection (FAI), Acceptance Test Procedure (ATP) formulated with Director General of Quality Assurance (DGQA) for carrying out the same.
