MMK has successfully recertificated the quality management system for compliance with the standard of "Gazprom"
Within five days the Board of auditors of certification body LLC "Pronap" carried out an inspection of the QMS for the design, development and manufacture of continuously cast slabs for hot rolling, hot-rolled coils and sheets, thick plates hot-rolled and heat-treated products for PJSC "Gazprom" and its suppliers to meet the requirements of STO Gazprom 9001-2018. The audit Commission concluded that the QMS of OJSC "MMK" is functioning effectively and meets all requirements. The company will receive a new certificate of compliance for a period of three years.
the Audit covered various structural and functional units of PJSC "MMK". At the final meeting on the results of the audit, the head of the Commission, chief expert on QMS certification in CDC "INTERESSERT" Anton Yarushin noted that the audit completed in full and raised all the planned units and processes. No inconsistencies that prevent the re-certification audit of QMS of JSC "MMK" in the course of the audit have been identified.
According to Anton Yarushina, the audit team noted a very high level of the quality management system of the plant. The QMS of OJSC "MMK" – the system is really informal, not for reporting, and to achieve real results and meet the needs of consumers, including pipe companies – suppliers of Gazprom. Among the strengths of the QMS in OJSC "MMK" the auditors noted the establishment of a system of supplier development, initiated by the Chief specialist of the quality management system of PJSC "MMK" Nikolai Gladkikh and supported by the top management of the company. The operation of this system is aimed at reducing the risk of receiving defective products from external suppliers, which further allows to improve the production already at the plant. Also, the auditors stressed that the CMI has done a great job in implementing the system 8D. This technique allows us to develop quality, analyzing the causes of defects identified in collaboration with the direct consumers of the metal. The system involves a command and a system approach to deterring and corrective actions, allowing more details to work out the reasons for the formation of defects. Noted the auditors and reduced the number of claims to PJSC "MMK", as well as a significant decrease in the volume of steel products, which are billed claims.
Separately, the audit team noted the interest of the company's senior executives in a successful and informal quality management system at PJSC "MMK". Thanks to this interest the work on the development of the QMS in the plant is systemic, and the staff are interested in the production of quality products and involved in the process of production improvement.
Also, the auditors highly estimated the fact of carrying out such audit in the conditions of a pandemic coronavirus infection. As noted by a reviewer, all involved services organised the event and provided all necessary security measures – from the principles of social distancing to providing all stakeholders with means of individual protection.
