Quality by Design — Every Step, Every Day
At Ladata, we champion a culture of continuous improvement, process control, and collaboration—drawing on Layana’s long-standing tradition of excellence in Total Quality Management (TQM). This philosophy underpins everything, from early-stage design assessments to prototype validation and automation strategy.
At Ladata, quality is not a department—it’s a system that begins at design and continues through every manufacturing stage. Our Total Quality Management (TQM) support helps clients develop robust, scalable, and certifiable quality systems rooted in the proven, production-tested methodologies of our parent company, Layana.
Drawing on Layana’s certified implementation of IATF 16949, ISO 14001, ISO 45001, and ISO 14064, we assist clients in structuring quality frameworks that align with global industry standards. These include full APQP and PPAP workflows, FMEA risk identification, and SPC (Statistical Process Control) for real-time process monitoring. This structured approach ensures traceable quality outcomes across automotive, electronics, medical, and other regulated sectors.
We help define and formalise quality protocols required for IATF and ISO certification—from documentation and control plans to audit traceability and supplier quality integration. Our approach reflects decades of audit-proven practices deployed across Layana’s facilities, ensuring readiness for both internal and customer-driven inspections.
Ladata assists clients integrating advanced quality tools within their production ecosystem. Through Layana, we have hands-on expertise and ability to provide service using:
Quality equipment and monitoring systems are not simply for lab use—we support clients implement them in-line, enabling real-time defect detection, closed-loop feedback, and automated rejection protocols. Whether it’s detecting insert misalignment in overmoulded components or verifying terminal coplanarity post-stamping, our team helps you bring metrology to the line—not just the lab.
Ladata team also engineers traceability systems that embed serialisation, batch tracking, and data logging directly into your assembly or production process. This includes guidance on:
Layana’s facilities operate with these systems in full production—Ladata brings that same insight to your team, helping you select the right tools, structure the data flow, and avoid gaps in compliance or recall readiness.
Our TQM consulting covers risk-based thinking from the design phase (DFMEA, PFMEA) all the way to production floor implementation. We support layered audits, incoming inspection strategies, and help build closed-loop quality assurance systems that continuously learn and improve.
This isn’t theory—it’s real-world expertise adapted to your project scale, supply chain structure, and regulatory environment.
Consultancy Anchored in Real-World Practice
We bring insights from a legacy of zero-defect production at Layana, applying those lessons to guide quality strategy for clients across Europe and the UK.
Equipment-Neutral, Solution-Focused
Our guidance remains independent of suppliers—focused on achieving effective quality, not promoting specific tools.
Ideal for Regulated Industries
Whether automotive, medical, aerospace, or electronics, our solutions support IATF 16949, ISO 13485, and other regulatory frameworks.
Your questions answered
TQM is a company-wide approach to embedding quality into every stage of a product’s lifecycle—from design to final inspection. At Ladata, we help clients structure systems that ensure quality is not reactive, but proactively built into every process, drawing from Layana’s production-proven methodologies.
Yes. We help clients implement in-line inspection systems using CCD vision cameras, laser sensors, proximity detectors, and sensor-integrated stations to monitor part presence, orientation, dimensions, and surface quality in real time. These systems are designed to work within stamping, moulding, or assembly lines—enabling automated detection, rejection, and data logging without interrupting production.
Absolutely. We engineer traceability workflows that include serialisation, batch tracking, labelling, and MES integration—ensuring full visibility from first shot to final pack. This is essential for sectors like automotive, medical, and aerospace.
We apply DFMEA, PFMEA, and control plans as part of the APQP and PPAP frameworks. These tools help identify potential failures early and implement preventive measures before production begins.
Not at all. Our TQM approach is scalable. Whether you’re running high-mix low-volume operations or scaling a single product line, we adapt our systems to suit your goals, capacity, and industry compliance requirements.
We don’t just advise—we translate decades of Layana’s real production experience into actionable, scalable quality systems. Our support is technical, implementation-focused, and tailored to each client’s specific industry and operational structure.
