Xi’an Sifang Ultra-Light Materials Co., Ltd. successfully passed the scope‑expansion audit of its weapons and equipment quality management system and obtained certification.

　　From June 3 to 4, 2023, Beijing Junyou Chengxin Certification and Testing Co., Ltd. conducted an on-site audit for the expansion of our company’s quality management system. The company’s chairman, general manager, deputy general managers, internal auditors, and heads of all departments attended the meeting. Following two days of rigorous, meticulous, and thorough auditing, at the closing meeting, the audit team leader, after providing a detailed summary of each team member’s findings regarding the audit’s specifics and procedures, expressed gratitude for the cooperation and support demonstrated by all units in this certification process. The team then announced that the on-site audit for the expansion of Sifang Company’s weapons and equipment quality management system had been successfully passed, with the certificate issued on June 27.

　　This time, the company’s quality management system has been expanded from its original scope—“design, development, production, and service of magnesium‑lithium alloy materials”—to include “design, development, production, and service of magnesium alloy materials and magnesium‑lithium alloy materials; machining and related services for general components; and the sale and servicing of metallic materials.” To prepare for this expanded‑scope audit, Deputy General Managers Wang Rui, responsible for quality and technology, coordinated a unified deployment across all departments. Led by the Quality Department, the company proactively strengthened the foundational elements of its quality management system while aligning with actual production conditions, standardizing the operation of the management system and conducting internal audits ahead of schedule. The team provided repeated guidance and oversight to address weaknesses in system implementation and to support the newly added machining workshop, and organized peer reviews among departmental managers to identify strengths and areas for improvement, ensuring that the quality management system operates in full compliance with applicable standards. In parallel, the company assessed each quality objective and target against industry benchmarks and its current operational realities, rationally optimizing goals and key performance indicators to ensure continuous enhancement and sustained improvement in quality management. During the expanded‑scope certification audit, the review team intensified its evaluation of the company’s upgraded quality management system, thereby further advancing the refinement and wider adoption of the system. Throughout the audit, the reviewers identified issues and urged the company to conduct thorough root‑cause analyses, promptly develop practical and effective corrective actions, and make targeted adjustments to future operations, thus guaranteeing the system’s ongoing effectiveness. Additionally, the auditors offered constructive recommendations on areas requiring improvement across departments and on the next steps for the management system, providing clear direction for its continued operation and evolution.

　　Chairman Han Baifeng of the company has instructed that the heads of all departments compile a list of issues based on the recommendations and guidance provided by the audit team. Relevant departments are to identify the root causes of any identified problems, develop and implement corrective actions, and, in subsequent work, further strengthen oversight, inspections, and performance evaluations of the system’s operation. By addressing potential risks at an early stage, they should ensure that the system is fully integrated into all aspects of the company’s operations, enabling the quality management system to provide robust support for the company’s production and business activities and continuously elevate the enterprise’s level of refined management.
