MTG
Imports is proud to announce that
we will be acheiving ISO 9001:2010
certification in 2010.
ISO 9001:2010 was developed as an international
standard to confirm that companies
have established and maintained a uniform
quality management system to better
meet the needs of their customers.
The standard covers design, development,
production and service, and can be
used by any business in any industry.
ISO 9001 provides companies with the
management tools to improve their business
performance, such as defining policy
and objectives, monitoring and measuring
processes and product characteristics,
specifying corrective and preventive
actions and encouraging continuous
improvement.
International experience has shown
that significant business benefits
are accrued by companies that comply
with this standard, including the following.
- Complete
customer satisfaction.
- Efficiency
and productivity (minimizing defect
costs and optimizing process sequences).
- Minimization of
risks in product liability.
- Reduced inspection
and testing costs.
- Reduced costs through
the minimization of communication
and manufacturing errors.
- Consistency of
service or product performance.
- Increased motivation
of employees due to fewer errors
and complaints.
- Transparency through
clearly defined processes.
- Continuous process
and structural improvements.
- Identification
and minimization of weaknesses.
- The securing of
a competitive edge with an internationally
recognized certificate.
The ISO
9001:2010 standard
The ISO 9001:2008 standard focuses
on system processes, as opposed to
elemental areas. The twenty elements
of the now obsolete ISO 9001:1994
have been restructured into four
major areas, or clauses, of ISO 9001:2010.
This restructuring was carried out
to provide a better and more logical
sequencing of the requirements of
the standard, and is intended to
make the documentation easier to
use. The standard is now divided
into the following areas:
- Management
Responsibility
- Resource
Management
- Product Realization
- Measurement,
Analysis and Improvement
Together,
these areas define what companies
should consistently do to provide
products that meet customer and
statutory or regulatory requirements,
and highlight areas that companies
should seek to enhance customer satisfaction
by improving their quality management
system.
