Customer Job Processing

Prior to the receipt of a customer job, SPC forecasts and schedules each production run. When materials are received a traveler tag containing all pertinent job information accompanies them to the assigned line.

Quality Assurance personnel review the plating requirements for each lot of material and prepare the required testing and necessary certification. Schedulers and plating line operators meet frequently to ensure process control in accordance with written procedures.

Sharretts Plating Company operates an extensive laboratory and related testing equipment to maintain the plating solutions at proper concentrations. Additionally, thickness of plating deposits is determined by utilizing micro-section, dermitron, and x-ray, as well as other methods in accordance with customer requirements.

Spectrophotometers are used to measure effluent wastewater discharges and monitor the trace elements in plating solutions to maintain solution integrity and process control.

The company has instituted various programs, such as source reduction and water reuse, for over 20 years. Housekeeping of the plant, as well as the plating solutions, is an ongoing program that demands its own respective goals and objectives.
