Earning JCP Enhanced Validation: A Team Effort at AB Precision

At AB Precision, every achievement is built on the strength of our people. Our recent JCP Enhanced Validation approval is no exception. While certifications like this may look like a stamp on paper, the reality is that it represents months of preparation, attention to detail, and a shared commitment to excellence across the entire organization.

In this article, we’d like to take you behind the scenes to show how our team earned this milestone-and why it matters for our customers and partners.

More Than a Certificate

The Joint Certification Program (JCP) is designed to safeguard Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI) for defense and government projects in the United States and Canada. Achieving enhanced validation required AB Precision to demonstrate not just technical capabilities, but also organizational discipline, strong documentation, and reliable security practices.

This certification is not awarded lightly. It reflects a company-wide effort to ensure that every step of our process-from initial inquiries to machining and delivery-meets the strictest compliance standards.

Teamwork Across Every Department

Earning JCP Enhanced Validation approval was truly a team achievement:

• Office staff worked diligently to ensure that our documentation, records, and compliance procedures met regulatory requirements.

• Machinists and operators demonstrated how daily shop floor practices align with ISO 9001:2015 and JCP standards, showing consistency and reliability in their work.

• Management and leadership coordinated the process, ensuring that every detail was addressed and that the entire team understood the importance of the certification.

  
  

This cross-department collaboration shows what makes AB Precision unique: our ability to combine decades of precision grinding expertise with modern compliance and operational discipline.

The Challenge of Compliance in Precision Manufacturing

Precision grinding and machining demand technical excellence, but compliance adds another layer of complexity. To qualify for JCP Enhanced Validation, AB Precision had to demonstrate not only that we produce exceptional results in Blanchard grinding, surface grinding, creep-feed grinding, and CNC milling, but also that we have the systems in place to safeguard sensitive customer data.

This required:

• Updating and reviewing internal procedures.

• Ensuring documentation and recordkeeping were complete and accessible.

• Training staff on compliance requirements.

• Auditing our processes to meet enhanced standards.

  
  

The process was rigorous, but it allowed us to strengthen the foundation of our operations-benefiting both our team and our customers.

Why the Human Element Matters

Behind every certification is a team of people who care about their work. At AB Precision, our employees understand that their role goes beyond machining parts-it’s about protecting the trust that customers place in us.

By working together to achieve JCP Enhanced Validation approval, our team showed the kind of discipline, pride, and responsibility that defines our company culture.

This achievement is as much about teamwork as it is about compliance. It proves that when we set a high standard, our team can rise to meet it-strengthening AB Precision for the future.

A Milestone in Our Modernization Journey

JCP Enhanced Validation approval is also part of a larger story at AB Precision: modernization. Alongside our ISO 9001:2015 certification, new digital systems, and process improvements, this certification represents one more step toward creating a company that is both highly precise and highly resilient.

By investing in compliance and modernization, we’re ensuring that our business remains strong not just for today, but for decades to come. And for our customers, that means confidence in a partner who will always deliver precision, reliability, and trust.

Final Thoughts: A Shared Achievement

Achieving JCP Enhanced Validation approval is a proud moment for AB Precision-but it’s not about a single document or certificate. It’s about our people, our processes, and our culture of excellence.

We want to thank every member of our team for their hard work, dedication, and commitment to achieving this milestone. It’s through their efforts that AB Precision continues to grow as a trusted partner in the defense, aerospace, and industrial sectors.
