  Total Quality Management (TQM)
Since 1993, AEC has adopted a comprehensive strategy to prepare itself for the challenges of the new century. Within this strategy was the implementation and commitment to Total Quality Management (TQM) in its products and services. Like any world-class company, AEC has established an appropriate organizational structure, a quality management system, a set of comprehensive policies and procedures, and an orderly way of executing all AEC activities to produce high quality products and services to customers.

AEC's experience in the implementation of TQM has continued to be a major factor in the company's success. Commitment to quality at AEC is a way of life through the contribution and participation of its employees which have enabled the company to achieve major milestones and recognition by local and international industry leaders.

TQM at AEC is a long journey. The company will continue to be committed to develop and retain the TQM mentality to ensure that we do the job on time, and do it right the first time and every time. We are on a journey to blend our diversified culture into delighting our customers and producing the highest quality products and services.

  Inspection Delegation:
Inspection delegation is more than just certification and awards; it is putting the customer's trust into us as being one of their source inspectors. This status is only given to suppliers who surpass consistently the quality requirements of any customer.
   
  General Dynamics, Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, Lucent Technologies, and Ericsson have authorized AEC to inspect their products on their behalf, so that AEC customers couldl take the product from AEC to their warehouse.
