Why choose for HP equipment ?
Quality & Reliability by Any
Measure
HP understands that quality and reliability provide a path for lowering ICT
costs and that it is not a mere coincidence that it occurs. HP's approach
focuses on delivering quality and reliability throughout the product lifecycle
including the design, testing, manufacturing, installation, and operational
phases of a product's life. It's simple; HP quality products help you to deploy
more reliable, high quality, industry standard IT solutions within your
enterprise. The following provides a brief overview of how HP delivers quality
products and services to the market place through:
Product Development
HP product users play an important role by telling HP what products they would
like them to design and the feature functionality they require. HP gathers
feedback from their customers through focus groups, trade shows, customer
visits, support calls, human factors studies and, frequently, surveying
thousands of users - including annual satisfaction surveys of 20,000 customers
in 30 countries. Compaq engineers then take this information and begin the
design process, which includes:
| Proof Of Concept
Teams from Design, Engineering, Marketing, Manufacturing, and Human Factors
match your input with emerging standards and technologies to set design and
performance goals, and establish specifications for new products. |
| Product Development
Product Validation Engineers probe a components, firmware and software to
ensure they work together without conflict and deliver reliable performance in
a wide variety of environments. |
| Manufacturing Verification
HP factories then test-builds final prototypes, verifying manufacturing
processes and diagnostics to ensure that production facilities meet specific
Deskpro quality goals for high-volume production. |
| Design Prototyping
Prototypes are built to verify the design and, with other teams, ensure
architecture, ASIC and design integrity. |
| Issue Resolution
The Problem and Enhancement Tracking (PET) system ensures that issues are
quickly identified, tracked and resolved throughout design and manufacturing.
|
Product Testing
There are more than 20 groups within HP that work to ensure long life by testing
our different products with hundreds of third-party devices in a variety of
networked environments, simulating years of real-world stress. HP systematically
push all of their products past reasonable limits to make sure they can handle
the toughest work place conditions, if encountered. The phases of product
testing include:
| Reliability
All HP products are tested under temperature and humidity extremes. Other
model testing includes electrical signal integrity, electrostatic discharge,
zap the video graphics adapter with electrical surges, and do residual voltage
testing. HP perform thermal mapping and, in a wind tunnel, evaluate airflow
within the chassis to help ensure proper cooling. |
| Supplier Qualification
To ensure consistent quality, HP put their parts suppliers through a five-step
qualification process.
| Their engineers provide input into every supplier's designs
|
| Evaluate a part's overall quality and long-term reliability
|
| Evaluate the supplier's production process to ensure consistent quality
|
| Monitor quality performance by examining their qualification and
reliability data |
| Perform a final review leading to certification
|
|
| Engineering Verification
HP engineers ensure that the board circuitry, ASICs, risers and disk drives
work with industry-standard adapters for networking, SCSI, video and audio.
|
| Options Tested
Compatibility testing ensures that HP products run flawlessly in your desired
configurations and environments. Every product is tested with hardware
adapters, peripherals and up to 500 hardware and software options from HP and
third party suppliers. |
Manufacturing
HP is one of the first computer suppliers to earn ISO 9002 certification - a
crucial measure of quality processes - for all manufacturing facilities
worldwide. Before leaving their factory for delivery to you, every HP product
must pass a daunting array of tests and audits. HP passionately strive for zero
manufacturing defects to ensure their products run flawlessly right out of the
box. To minimize defects products must pass the following checkpoints during the
manufacturing process:
| Manufacturing Process
100% Testing And Run-In is included as part of the manufacturing process. HP
subject every product, without exception, to tests of printed circuits, a CPU
pretest and CPU system verification. |
| Final Audits
Quality auditors in all HP factories continuously check tolerances and make
other production line measurements to catch unacceptable variances. Their
mission: to ensure a stable and reliable manufacturing process. |
| Product Integrity
Other HP teams test products from an end-user perspective to identify and
correct any remaining hardware/software interaction issue. |
Product Service & Support
HP product quality doesn't stop at the factory door. They provide the ongoing
service and support for their IT solutions throughout the course of their life
in your enterprise. Need technical assistance? HP award-winning call center
