Primary control methods in place at Elbit Systems - Cyclone ("Cyclone") include vigorous  SPC programs, formal manufacturing and service process control as well as proactive supplier and subcontractor control. We believe in problem presentation, detection and correction, which keeps problematic issues that actually occur to a minimum. Components undergo rigid in-process and final inspection procedures, including highly advanced NDT methods (X-ray fluoroscopy, ultrasound testing and fluorescent-penetrate crack detection), in addition to conventional conductivity and metallographic tests. Cyclone implements Quality Management System - accordance to  ISO-9001:2008 and AS9100:2008. The Cyclone plant is ISO 9001/AS9100 qualified.
