Quality assurance clarifies the components into two critical component and non-critical
components. Critical components are crank shaft, all engine parts, gear wheels etc. Non
critical components are nuts, bolts and screws etc. The clarification is mainly for ignoring the
practical difficulty in checking non critical components and only sample inspection in non-
critical components. Practical difficulty in checking the non-critical component is problem
there from here the production department as there requirements takes the components, after
getting a finished product from the assembly department for the final checking. If getting a
finished product from the assembly department for the final checking. If it is Ok it is gone to
the store. From these the machine will enter into marker through dealers.
Quality assurance Department is equipped with all modal facilities. The company has
calibration cell to check and correct the measurements of all measuring instruments.
