The International Standards Organization (ISO) is headquartered in Switzerland. It has developed a generic set of quality management standards designed to provide a framework for developing quality assurance management practices within the workplace.
The ISO system improves quality by assuring that all activities are planned, work practices are performed in predetermined ways, and there are clearly defined channels for communication of information and instructions. The system works because the procedures to perform every task that can affect quality are documented, personnel are trained and appropriate documents are maintained. The system is constantly being reviewed and tries to focus on removing the cause of poor quality by regulating the importance of materials and workmanship as they enter the work flow, not afterwards.
Why is certification important to AOCUSA and what is the value? We see it as an orderly approach to managing our business. That translates to improved eficiency and quality. The value is improved product quality and re-work levels, as well as improved customer satisfaction. Improved quality is a competitive tool, it helps us grow our business.
