How We Ensure Leather Quality Assurance
People–Learning–Processes–Values
- Recruit technicians with a minimum of 5 years experience and degrees in leather technology.
- Provide our technicians with leading-edge learning and continuous education (Initial +5 month training program to learn the “Impactiva Way”).
- Create and maintain world-class processes & procedures (state-of-the-art leather manual, > 50 templates/forms).
- Continuously reinforced our Company’s 4 Values and 31 Performance Competencies (used in June and December for Performance Review).
Our success is dependent on helping the industry understand:
- The advantage of “Doing it Right the First Time” (eliminate more than US$0.12 / sq. ft. of waste due to leather errors).
- Calculating grading compensation before the leather is shipped.
- The difference between Clean Area and Cutting Yield.
- Following a clear and fair written trimming standard.
- The importance of spending the time and energy to clearly define leather characteristics and acceptable color deviations.
- The value of a robust Leather Confirmation Swatch (LCS), Color Window (CW) and Range Swatch (RS) systems.
