of a robust Quality System.
Key strategies critical to driving continuous improvement:
Customer Focus – Ensuring that we maintain Quality Systems which meet all customer requirements.

The Avalign Quality System is designed to comply with all appropriate US/International regulatory requirements coupled with the specific quality system specifications of our OEM customers.
Quality – Employees understand that Quality is not negotiable. Quality objectives must be met without exception. Quality is not limited to our operators who touch the product; it is part of everyone’s job. We are continuously educating our employees that each of us plays an important role in ensuring our products always meet our customer requirements.
Measurement – We are committed to maintaining a Quality System which is consistent and standardized across all sites. A key method of maintaining adequate oversight of the Avalign Quality System is the routine use of performance metrics.
