The team of OJSC "Lutsk Bearing Plant" received a certificate of belonging to the "Golden Channel CRE" for the first time in its history, thereby confirming that the quality of products manufactured here meets the highest European and world standards, reports "Ukrainian Industry." \n \n The "Golden Channel" title at the company Chicago Rawhide Elastomere (CRE), which is part of the world-famous SKF corporation, is awarded to production units operating with zero defects, that is, absolutely without rejects or complaints. This is exactly the success achieved by the team of the seal section of OJSC "LBP." All inspections of products exported to CRE found no critical deviations. \n \nAs General Director of the company Volodymyr Tsybulskyi said, the section produces parts for Trackstar-type chain joints and Bosch washing machine pumps. At "LBP," which is part of the SKF corporation, clear process management of the quality management system has been implemented. The principle of continuous improvement has become paramount here. And the entire plant staff is involved in this. Product quality is stimulated by regular audits for compliance of bearings and components with the international automotive standard TS 16949. Such audits are conducted at the plant by representatives of Getrag, a world manufacturer of transmissions for automobiles of all brands, as well as the Gorky Automobile Plant and other well-known consumers of Lutsk bearings. \n \n As a result, OJSC "Lutsk Bearing Plant" was one of the first among Volyn industrial enterprises to receive a Quality System certificate for compliance with the requirements of the international standard ISO 9001:2000. And it has already confirmed it for the third time. The plant team successfully passed the certification audit for compliance of the quality system with the requirements of the Ukrainian standard DSTU ISO 9001:2001. \n
