Quality Policy

BenQ Materials is committed to delivering high-quality products and services that meet customer needs and comply with regulatory requirements. The company continuously promotes the effective operation and improvement of its quality management system. We have obtained international quality certifications including ISO 9001, IATF 16949, and IECQ QC080000. Guided by a risk-based approach, full employee participation, and a culture of continuous improvement, we implement quality control throughout the entire value chain—from R&D, procurement, production to delivery—to ensure product safety, reliability, and customer satisfaction.
 

Quality Risk and Preventive Management

To ensure product quality and customer satisfaction, BenQ Materials has established a comprehensive quality management framework. For both new product development and changes to existing products, we implement APQP (Advanced Product Quality Planning) and EC (Engineering Change) procedures, which are integrated with our overall quality management systems (such as ISO 9001 and IATF 16949)
 
  • APQP: New Product Design and Development Process
     
The APQP process is led by the Project Manager (PM) and follows four major phases: Planning DVT (Design Verification Test) MVT (Mass Verification Test) MP (Mass Production). It covers product design, testing, validation, and production readiness to ensure that new products meet internal quality standards and customer requirements from concept through mass production. With stage-gate reviews and risk assessments, the process identifies technical challenges and potential failure risks early on to minimize quality issues during mass production
 
  • EC: Design, Material, and Process Change Management in Mass Production
     
The EC process is applied to manage engineering changes during the mass production phase. It is initiated by the change requester (PM / Sales / MM / MFG) and involves the following steps: ECR (Engineering Change Request) ETR (Engineering Test Request) EAR (Engineering Analysis Report) ECN (Engineering Change Notice). Before any change is implemented, cross-functional defect verification (involving MFG / Process Engineering / QA / ES) is conducted to ensure the change does not negatively impact product quality or process stability.
