Alliance TruTrus in Tolleson, Arizona Receives Certification in WTCA’s Quality Control Program
As of December 17, 2007, Alliance TruTrus in Tolleson, Arizona has become a certified user of In-Plant WTCA QC, a program developed by WTCA to help truss manufacturers manage the quality of the trusses they produce. In-Plant WTCA QC is a voluntary program that provides internal quality control measures in truss manufacturing plants across the United States. It establishes the frequency and criteria by which trusses are checked by the manufacturer for accuracy of cutting, assembly and plate placement, and the quality of the wood used to create the final product. WTCA regularly monitors the data from certified companies to ensure compliance with program criteria. Currently, Alliance TruTrus is one of only 120 certified plants nationwide.
The voluntary implementation of the In-Plant WTCA QC program shows Alliance TruTrus’ commitment to quality. They are now able to quantitively spot trends in the manufacturing process, which provides an opportunity to see problems and resolve them before they impact production.
