Quality Assurance
in 5 Steps

1. Planning and Defining Quality Requirements
The first step in quality assurance at LMV is to define clear quality requirements. These requirements are based not only on our customers’ needs but also on industry standards and legal regulations. Our quality standards are embedded in all processes – from planning and conception to delivery. This includes both functional and aesthetic requirements that our products must meet. We establish detailed specifications to ensure that every workpiece meets the highest demands.

2. Process Documentation and Optimization
At LMV, every work step is carefully documented to ensure consistency and quality in manufacturing. Our process documentation is precise and helps identify and avoid sources of error. From metal processing to finishing and final quality inspection – all steps are recorded in detailed work instructions. This ensures that our employees always work according to the highest standards and that all production processes run smoothly. Our continuous process optimization enables us to work even more efficiently and flawlessly, without compromising on quality.

3. Quality Controls and Tests
Quality controls are key to ensuring our high manufacturing standards. At LMV, we rely on continuous testing both during the production process and at the end of manufacturing. State-of-the-art testing methods and technologies are used – from the inspection of incoming materials to final end tests. Our in-house electroplating facility is also regularly checked for its condition and durability to consistently meet the requirements for corrosion protection and surface quality. With modern CNC-controlled machines and high-precision bending machines, we guarantee exact processing and flawless fitting accuracy of the parts.

4. Error Analysis and Corrective Actions
Despite all preventive measures, errors can occur. In such cases, we immediately analyze the cause and take targeted corrective actions. Our highly qualified specialists work closely together to identify weaknesses in the process and develop solutions. Through systematic error analyses, such as conducting root-cause analyses, we determine why an error occurred and how we can prevent it in the future. Subsequently, the necessary adjustments are made, whether to machines, processes, or the materials used.

5. Continuous Improvement and Innovation
Quality assurance at LMV does not end with error correction but is a continuous process. We constantly strive for improvement and rely on regular audits to critically review all areas of production. By using innovative technologies and regularly training our employees, we ensure that we always stay up-to-date. Our continuous improvement culture ensures that we not only maintain existing standards but also set new benchmarks in metal processing and finishing. An important part of our strategy is also the sustainable use of resources and continuous compliance with environmental regulations. Our in-house wastewater treatment and our laboratory significantly contribute to meeting our environmental requirements and maintaining the quality of our products at a consistently high level.

Conclusion
Quality assurance at LMV follows a clearly structured process based on planning, documentation, regular inspections, error analysis, and continuous improvement. This ensures that every product leaving our facility meets the highest standards and satisfies our customers’ requirements. Through innovative technologies, precise manufacturing, and dedicated specialists, we guarantee quality “Made in Bavaria” – and have done so for over 45 years.
