Quality
Quality is the core value.
Protoplast's quality policy is written down and blunt: produce molds and parts that meet or exceed the customer's expectations. The systems below are how the shop holds itself to it.

Measured, not promised
As Protoplast moves forward, facing challenges of growth and productivity, we will conduct our business with honesty and integrity, never compromising on quality.
Extract from the Protoplast quality policy
The auto standard, shop-wide
SPC because the auto sector demanded it.
The automotive sector set statistical process control as its minimum and required vendors to integrate their quality systems with the customer's. Protoplast took that demand on — and then ran every other sector's parts through the same discipline.
There is no learning curve when your program lands: external quality requirements are applied, not discovered.
Every order, tracked
ERP down to the workflow.
Enterprise Resource Planning micro-manages each order and its workflow, so a purchase order is traceable from resin receipt to the shipping bay.
At the press, real-time monitoring and in-process vision systems catch deviation early — before scrap piles up, and long before a suspect part reaches inspection, assembly or packaging.
