Sharretts' customers represent many industries including automotive; semi-conductor; connector/electronics; hardware fasteners; cosmetics; aerospace; telecommunications; manufacturing; and plumbing and pipe coupling manufacturing, among others. Our customers are worldwide and many represent the Fortune 500 list. We commonly tailor-fit equipment and chemistry for each specific job and dedicate capacity to satisfy required volume. We offer aggressive pricing strategies and service packages for large customers with a variety of plating types and processes.
Sharrets monitors production via computers. The process begins in our shipping and receiving department. In most cases, forecasting and scheduling of the plating is completed before reaching the Receiving department, so that upon receipt of the materials, Scheduling and Line assignment has already been accomplished. The material is accompanied to the respective plating line with a traveler tag that describes all of the process information. Quality Assurance personnel reviews the plating requirements for each lot of material and prepares for the required testing and necessary certification. This process is reviewed for appropriate process control and all information is forwarded to administrators for financial accounting. We file information so that it can be quickly traced and retrieved. Each work order is reviewed to ensure process integrity. Schedulers and plating line operators meet frequently to ensure process control in accordance with written procedures.
