At Zakobe, quality is more than a department — it's the foundation of everything we do.
ISO 9001:2015 Certified | Electronics & Precision Stamping
Zakobe operates a documented, audited, and continuously enforced quality management system designed to meet the requirements of Tier-1 OEMs in electronics, medical, aerospace, and critical industrial applications.
Our quality system is structured to ensure product conformity, full traceability, rapid issue containment, and consistent execution across all production runs.
Quality Management System
Zakobe is ISO 9001:2015 certified by Husk Registrars.
The quality management system governs all production, tooling, inspection, documentation, and corrective action activities.
Quality authority is independent of production output pressure and is empowered to protect customer requirements at all times.
Quality Authority & Responsibility
- Quality Authority: Quality Manager
- Stop-Production Authority: Yes
- Stop-Shipment Authority: Yes
Quality has full authority to halt production or shipment without management approval if product conformity is at risk.
Functional Oversight
- Engineering: Defines quality requirements, inspection strategy, and documentation for new and existing projects
- Production Management: Ensures execution to defined quality requirements
- Operators: Perform in-process checks at defined control points
- Final Inspection: Conducted by approved quality personnel prior to packaging and shipment
Documentation & Record Control
For every job, Zakobe maintains a structured job record including:
- Material traceability and certifications
- Equipment and tooling used
- Operator identification
- Inspection results and approvals
- Final release authorization
Record Storage
- Combination of controlled paper records and secure digital storage
- Onsite and offsite servers
- Daily backups
- Documents managed through internally hosted business management systems
Record Retention
- Minimum of 10 years
- Digital records retained indefinitely where applicable
Inspection & Measurement
Pre-Production
- Tooling inspection and verification
- Tool sharpening or repair as required
- Verification of inspection equipment status
- Material verification against customer requirements
In-Process Inspection
- Ongoing checks at defined failure points
- Hand measurement tools
- Vision inspection using Keyence systems where part geometry allows
Final Inspection
- Sampling plans based on production quantity and risk
- Lot verification performed by approved quality personnel
Measurement Equipment
- Calipers
- Micrometers
- Gage pins and gage blocks
- Keyence vision inspection systems
Calibration
- Hand measuring tools: Annual calibration (NIST traceable)
- Vision systems: Annual calibration / verification
- Master artifacts (gage blocks): Controlled long-interval calibration
Non-Conformance & Corrective Action
Internal Non-Conformance
- Production is immediately halted
- Suspect material is identified and quarantined
- Root cause is investigated by engineering and quality
- Disposition (rework or scrap) is formally determined
Customer-Reported Issues
- Immediate customer notification upon confirmation
- Engineering and quality lead investigation and response
- Rework or replacement prioritized over all other production
- Typical replacement target: one week or less, depending on scope
Corrective Action
- Root cause documented in corrective action logs
- Actions reviewed and tracked through management review
- Preventive actions implemented where applicable

Our Quality Capabilities Include:
- First Article Inspection Reports (FAIR)
- Production Part Approval Process (PPAP) Submissions
- Certificates of Conformance (COC)
- RoHS & REACH Compliance Reporting
- Custom Quality Reports as Required
- Material Certifications and Traceability
- In-House Tool and Die Maintenance and Inspection
Built for Compliance, Backed by Experience
Our team is well-versed in regulatory and customer-driven requirements, including critical documentation and validation protocols common in the electronics, medical, and aerospace sectors. We collaborate closely with your engineering and quality teams to ensure seamless compliance from prototype to production.
Zakobe's ability to provide high-precision stamped parts, along with detailed inspection documentation and flexible quality reporting, makes us a trusted partner for OEMs who cannot afford to compromise.
Certified. Compliant. Proven. That’s the Zakobe standard.
