Why Do You Bet Your Company Reputation

- stop fostering dishonest

suppliers

When you survey the plants, you always talk about the importance of QUALITY. However, PRICE influences you the

most when making the final purchasing decision. To negotiate with you, the moral suppliers will adhere to quality

bottom line. However, the dishonest suppliers will offer inferior products to you directly.

They cheat you due to following reasons:

1. Your budget is limited

2. You will not inspect the products strictly

3. Greedy for small advantages

4. You are unprofessional and will not find out the tricks they play

You have no right to complain because you bet:

1. Budget control is the only thing need to be considered

2. All the suppliers are honest. They will produce products formally.

3. “Every extra penny deserves its value “just a lie

4. The inferior products are blessed. The quality problem will not happen.

The cost to solve quality problems is much higher than buying products. When you blame the bad suppliers, have

you ever think:

You are the person who push them to be bad.

For them, as you drive the hard bargain without any reason, “CUT CORNERS” is the simplest way to earn your money.

how DEVIL was born

ZERO-SUM GAME between Purchaser and Supplier

Tachia Yung Ho Machine Industry will never ever participate in it !

Once you choose to join the devil side, it's impossible to be pure again.

Therefore, we will not abuse our professional knowledge to cut corners.

And we will try the best to escape from the price war. It has no end.

Quality is our responsibility. Pipe fittings quality relates to the safety.

Customers are our responsibilities. Your company reputation relates to our

products.

Social responsibility. Only steady companies can take good care of

employees.

Watch out! Too many choices may direct you to the traps. In

order to help you to find out the suppliers’ intrigues, we will share years of

our experience with you.

Each Production

Procedure

has its

meaning

Refuse to gamble, because we believe

The corrosion resistance ability will be influenced by the

Residual Stress and HAZ(heat affected zone). It’s the reason

why the Solution Heat Treatment is the most important

procedure for producing SS pipe fittings.

We cooperate with Taiwan Industrial Technology Research

Institute to design and build the furnaces. The temperature

difference in the furnace is controlled in ±5˚C and the BW

fittings will be uniformly heated. In

addition, the soaking time and cooling water condition are monitored well by the computer

system.

However, many dishonest manufacturers only adopt

humble equipment which cannot execute the right heat

treatment operation or reduce the holding time to save costs.

As the fittings are not treated properly, the quality is

undoubtedly bad.

Compare to those fly-by-night manufacturers, we can

provide the related production/test records for every lot at

any time. It’s the reason why we can get customers’ trust.

Heat treatment – How about the CORROSION RESISTANCE of the pipe fittings?

Machining / Beveling- Is your 90˚ Long Elbow really 90˚?

Dishonest suppliers: poor machining skill / production facilities limits

dimensions are not precisely hard for using

YHMCO: Dedicated Beveling Machines / hundreds of molds

dimension meets to specification requests / strict inspection and record

easy for using

Every Regulation

has its reasons

Welding -if the weld bead CRACKED……

Dishonest suppliers:

Welders’ skill is not certified

the storage and usage of welding material are not proper

provide X-ray reports without executing X-ray testing

YHMCO:

Welders get ASME IX certificates.

In-house : Welding Procedure Specification (WPS) and Procedure Qualification Record (PQR)

Use and store the welding material reasonably according to SOP (YH-P-025)

(e.g. welding wires have to be kept in dry cabinet, place packing box directly on the ground is not allowed )

Provide both X-ray reports and films at the same time

Dishonest suppliers:

Disordered marks or material mix offer wrong products to customers

Finished products are scattered on the ground without proper protection

YHMCO:

Strict Stock in/out control

Organized Bin Location Management

Material control: color, steel marking and PMI (Positive Material Identification)

Inventory Management -you order 316L products but get 304 instead?

Each Inspection

has to be

implemented

Chemical Composition-Stainless steel or Strange steel ?

Dishonest suppliers:

Adopt disqualified raw material which chemical / mechanical

properties don’t meet to the specification regulations.

YHMCO Inspect raw materials and finished products by spectrometer

provide products with correct steel grade

X-ray Film Analysis Bending Test

Tensile Test Preparation Bevel Angle Measurement

Other Tests

If the pipe fittings are made of by above methods, the appearance will not show any defects. You

think you get the cheap and good quality products. It is not true!

Maintain the equipment, renew the devices, gauge adjustments and employees training, all these

actions have to input cost. The decent suppliers will look for correct methods to save cost. The bad

suppliers always take jerry-built actions.

When wicked suppliers take QUALITY as wager, why do you risk company’s reputation to gamble

with him?

Terrible because of Invisible Defects

“Too cheap” is the signal of danger. Please be more careful when suppliers voluntarily offer

unreasonable benefits to you.

Self-Discipline

Except ISO 9001 Quality

Management System, we extend the

QC target to BW pipe weld fittings.

2007, we get JIS B 2312 and JIS B 2313

certificates which was qualified by the

Japan Quality Assurance Organization.

2013, we certified the JIS B 2309.

Actions speak louder than

words. We will keep improving

ourselves.

JIS B 2313: Steel plate butt-welding pipe fittings

JIS B 2309: Butt -welding pipe fittings for light

stainless steel tubes for ordinary use

We care about quality more than you

Quality Can Not Be Treated Lightly

Adopt the highest inspection standard in the industry. To make sure the stainless steel pipe and plate

forming BW fittings can meet customers and international standard requests.

Items

“YHMCO” has its own laboratory. And all the fixtures, devices and equipment are maintained and

calibrated regularly. We also cooperate with qualified outsourced laboratory; therefore we can test the pipe

fittings and offer the reports to customers who have needs.

@ Above tests will be conducted according to customers’ needs

Items Purpose

Tensile Test To check the effectiveness and behavior of material when a stretching force acts on it

Hardness Test resistance to deformation

Bending Test resistance to bending

PMI Chemical Composition

Ultrasonic Test Wall Thickness

X-ray Weld Bead quality

Impact Test the resistance of a material to rapidly sudden applied loads.

IGC Test (Intergranular corrosion)

Corrosion resistance ability

Hydrostatic Test Test pipe fittings for strength and leaks

Liquid Penetration Test Check the surface quality (No cracks)

Metallographic Analysis Check the physical structure and components of metals

Professional = Expertise + Moral

Since its establishment from 1969, we witnessed

many companies get succeed and failed. Just one

wrong idea will result the company in decline.

"Profits" is the basis of sustainable operation.

Every company should try their best to make money.

However, if you can’t acquire wealth with the right

ways, you will fail at the last. It is the most important

idea that our founder Huang Qing-Nian had taught

us.

To keep the quality in the stable and good level

costs a lot. However, we will continue to look for the

balance between business interests and corporate

social responsibility. On the way of being a

righteousness enterprise, we will keep working hard

just like you.
