All of JDR's products will be built to exacting industry standards with an attitude of no tolerance for error. Training programs will be instituted across the organizational chart to ensure that every employee thinks in terms of zero defects in our delivery of products and technology to our customers. As most of our work is highly innovative in a dynamic and changing environment we will have periodic internal audits to ensure that all of our processes are in accordance with industry standards of workmanship. In addition, our engineering and support processes will be at a level to ensure that the TOTAL delivery from JDR will be of the highest standard among our peers. Quality comes only second to Safety in the JDR list of priorities.

As would be expected, all JDR Cables Systems manufacturing facilities are approved to the standard for Quality Management Systems; ISO9001: 2000 by Lloyds Register Quality Assurance. The manufacturing facility at Capelle's scope of quality also provides approval to the NATO Standard APAP-110. The approvals cover all Design, Development, Manufacturing, Testing and Servicing activities.

At JDR, we believe that Quality is about much more than approval to the ISO standard. Over many years, we have developed systems, procedures, equipment and expertise to truly assure the Quality of our products and services. Our goal is the continual improvement of all areas of the business through review, appraisal and development.

JDR test facilities give us the capability to carry out comprehensive qualification and acceptance testing on our products to the most rigorous International Standards, including ISO13528-5 (API 17E), SAE, LRS, DNV, ABS and NATO.

We realize that reliability is the key to success, especially within the sub-sea environment. JDR has implemented systems and procedures and has developed processes and equipment to continually improve the reliability of our products.

Manufacturing equipment has been developed, in house, to ensure that processes are both reliable and reproducible. The use of computerized, real time, Statistical Process Control systems on JDR extrusion processes is one example of the latest techniques adopted in order to maximize reliability.

Reliability is a key factor at every stage of the design and development of products and processes. Tools such as Dynamic Analysis, Fatigue Analysis Design FMEAs and Process FMEAs are used extensively. The use of comprehensive Quality, Inspection and Qualification Plans ensure that activities are developed and planned to maintain the highest possible standards.
