Production
 |
|
The firm E. & K. TASSIS CO has created and maintains a complete infrastructure that provides the best conditions for products and services production and control to customers. This is achieved by the use and monitoring of valid and appropriate processes. |
 |
The firm E. & K. TASSIS CO deals with the design and manufacture of metal accessories and structures using the methods of hot working, cold working and metals welding using a variety of raw materials and metals such as copper, brass, aluminium, stainless steel, and various other steels such as St - 37, St-44, St-52 and CK-60. |
 |
The company operates in a traditional industrial sector and implements manufacturing processes which are designed and tested for several decades (cutting, metals shaping, welding, etc.). |
|
Validation of manufacturing processes. |
 |
The validation of product and services production processes, namely the confirmation of their ability to produce the desired product or service quality is a primary concern of the company.
For the validation may be used: |
 |
 |
The prior experience of the company. |
 |
 |
The existing documentation and the existing good industry practices. |
 |
 |
The assignment of validation to experts. |
 |
 |
Communication with the customer. |

Production Departments Description
 |
 |
Product Design |
 |
The company E. & K. TASSIS CO implements the production of its products according to the drawings, the specifications and the special requirements of its customers. Also the company makes the design of new products based on previous experience and the constant monitoring of market developments. |
 |
After the design phase and its validation, the production moulds are manufactured by adequate and qualified personnel for each product. |

Factory Infrastructure |
 |
The physical infrastructure of the company consists of: |
 |
 |
Equipment and tools for the production implementation |
 |
 |
Production Moulds and fixtures |
 |
 |
Auxiliary equipment |
 |
 |
The test and measurement instruments |
 |
The company E. & K. TASSIS CO combines traditional technology production with the latest technology such as the recent
introduction of robotic technology in the welding production process.
The production infrastructure is maintained and operated so as to ensure the required quality of production and to minimise as much as possible the cost due to any faults and delays.
So as production is implemented with reliability and according to customer specifications all company equipment is tested, inspected and maintained regularly.
Also the company has a preventive equipment maintenance program which complies with the requirements of production equipment and which directly address the failures of the equipment. |
