ENGINEERING DEVELOPING COMPETITIVENESS ZM
ZM has the complete structure for the development of its products from design to validation. Using high technology in CAD / CAM / CAE to the creation of productive processes and tools manufacturing, projects are developed in cold forming, stamping, and injection, as well as to machineries and equipments of assembling products and processes.
In the development of new products are realized simulations in CAD (Computer Aided Design) and CAE (Computer Aided Engineering) exempting the construction of physical prototypes and rationalizing the time of drawing up projects, and also enable a better matching of the tooling into the machineries. The tools used in the production of parts and components are manufactured internally contributing to the quality assurance and optimization of production flow.
Quality
ZM is fully aware that the current stage of the Company, effectively reaching the standards required by the market, is associated with a factor of particular importance: the Quality. Through combined investments in staff training, acquisition and development of new technologies the company succeeds in providing products of high reliability.
Actions in the quality context include to maintain multidisciplinary teams engaged in all stages of product development. Associated to them are used statistical techniques, analyses of reliability, accelerated tests, as well as the support instruments like the softwares CAE / CAD / CAM.
The goals and efforts aimed at extending the concept of Quality in all aspects of the Company activity. All factors are considered. Since those that focus directly on the product as raw material, technology and professional qualification, and those which do indirectly, including the quality of life of employees. So, for ZM the term quality does not cover only their products, but the entire dynamic context that generated them.
