Let’s talk about quality in contract-grade office furniture. You might think a chair is just a chair, but if that were the case, we wouldn’t need Quality Assurance (QA) and Quality Control (QC), would we? These invisible champions ensure that office chairs are robust, safe, and comfortable. At Higi, we take quality seriously and follow BIFMA standards to the letter.
QA: The Planning Stage Where Perfection Begins
Imagine you’re designing a chair. QA is where we establish that this chair will hold a person’s weight without creaking like an old barn door. It’s the "blueprint and prevention" phase. At Higi, QA means setting high standards from the start—ensuring that every material, bolt, and cushion is up to par. We proactively plan for quality, not just to avoid disaster but to ensure durability and comfort.
During QA, Higi scrutinizes the production process to make sure it meets BIFMA standards. Think of it like early testing phases for a car model, where we make sure it doesn’t “explode.” For Higi’s contract-grade office chairs, we examine materials, ergonomics, and durability. We set standards, refine processes, and design tests to catch flaws before they happen.
QC: Where We Ensure Every Bolt Is Properly Tightened
Next comes QC, the hands-on hero of the story. It’s where we inspect, test, and inspect again—because when you’re shipping chairs worldwide, each one must withstand heavy use by office workers or even a professional rugby player.
At Higi, QC involves rigorous testing according to BIFMA standards for contract-grade furniture. We conduct impact tests, load-bearing checks, and stability tests, ensuring that each chair is up to the task. QC is where things get physical, and we give each chair a proper "shakedown."
How QA and QC Work Together at Higi
Here’s where the magic happens. At Higi, QA sets the standards, and QC verifies that those standards are met. Without QA, QC would just be reacting to problems. And without QC, QA would remain an ideal. Together, they ensure every Higi office chair meets the highest standards of quality and safety.
So, when you sit in one of our contract-grade office chairs, you’re feeling the benefits of a process that is both meticulously crafted and rigorously tested. Higi’s QA/QC approach not only meets industry standards but redefines them. That’s what we call quality at its finest.
