Emphasis on Safety and Quality
Our Number 1 Priority
Safety and Quality
Industry specific standard to achieve quality fundamentals
Wind suppliers MUST master basic quality management tools
High quality = satisfied customer
10 AMT's Global Forecasting & Marketing Conference
Importance of Quality
One “small” supplier defect = Rework up tower
Rework up tower =
• Down Turbine
• Crane Cost
• Technician Cost
• Shipping Cost
Down Turbine =
• Loss of Production
• Loss of customer satisfaction
Loss of Production = Lower business case certainty
Raises perception of high risk investment
High Risk Investment = Lower investments made
Lower investment = No growth for any OEM and fewer jobs.
