We focus on the quality management
Quality management at the plant has always been given due attention. More than thirty years ago, at the end of the 70s of the previous century, the plant introduced an integrated product quality management system - CS UKP, which successfully functioned at the enterprise until the 90s. The development of market relations in our country has set the task for the plant to adapt to new work requirements, living conditions and ensure the stable quality of products and the fulfillment of contractual conditions. In May 1992, it was decided to develop a quality management system taking into account the requirements of the ISO 9000 international standards. The quality system developed on the basis of the requirements of the ISO 9001:1994 international standard functioned successfully and helped to maintain the position of the main Russian manufacturer of mining equipment in the most difficult years of perestroika.
Independent assessment: the enterprise is good at meeting the requirements of consumers
When in 2000 a new version of the international standards ISO 9000 was released, built on the modern philosophy of quality, new tasks were set for the plant: expanding sales markets, increasing competitiveness, and reducing production costs. To confirm compliance with the new standards, it was necessary to conduct regular independent external assessments of the company’s ability to meet the requirements of consumers, technical regulations, and regulatory documents.
At the end of 2005, representatives of the certification body TÜV International RUS TÜV RheinlandInterCert made a certification audit at the plant, as a result of which a certificate of compliance of the quality management system implemented at JSC “Kopeysk Machine-Building plant” with the requirements of the international standard ISO 9001:2000 was issued.
We are constantly improving the quality management system
Being one of the leading enterprises in the field of mechanical engineering, JSC “Kopeysk Machine-Building plant” always focuses on the best world trends. With the release of new versions of international standards ISO 9000 series, first in 2008 and then in 2015, the company has consistently improved its quality management system and successfully confirmed its compliance with all the requirements. The quality management system of JSC “Kopeysk Machine-Building plant” is annually subjected to independent external assessments: recertification audits are held once every three years, supervisory audits (inspection checks) are carried out annually.

Development of the quality management system
The results of the plant’s work in recent years show that the quality management system has allowed the company to achieve significant success in the production sector, to implement a number of new projects. Among the positive examples of the development of the quality management system are the following: the creation of service centers, the development of new types of products, the reconstruction of several production workshops, the technical re-equipment of production sites and, as a result, the expansion of the technological capabilities of the enterprise and the range of manufactured products. As part of the successfully functioning management system, much attention is paid to such issues as personnel training and maintaining a high level of employee competence, equipment maintenance and compliance with the requirements of design and technological documentation in the manufacturing of products. Efficient work in these areas with an ever-increasing volume of production of mining equipment makes it possible to reduce losses from defects in production and minimize the number of claims from consumers regarding the quality of manufactured equipment.
