| New Way® Air Bearings Is ISO 9001:2000 Certified On November 21, 2008, New Way® Air Bearings, the world's largest independent manufacturer of porous media air bearing products, achieved ISO 9001:2000 certification. New Way received its certificate from United Registrar Services, LLC, an independent auditing firm, for meeting guidelines set out by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO). |
New Way's road to certification began in November of 2007 with the compilation of all existing internal processes. Working with this repository, the company developed and implemented a thorough Quality Management System (QMS) that conforms to the strict requirements of the ISO 9001:2000 standards.
To verify that ISO initiatives were achieved, a comprehensive quality management system review was implemented that addressed all areas of operation - from engineering, product design and manufacturing to delivery and customer service. A series of exhaustive internal process audits followed. Then, in September of 2008, United Registrar Services conducted the official certification audits, resulting in the full certification announced on November 14, 2008.
The certificate confirms that New Way's internal quality management system complies with ISO 9001:2000 requirements. Adopted in 1987 by the International Organization for Standardization in Geneva, Switzerland, the ISO quality system was developed in order to establish an internationally recognized standard of quality. Recognized in more than 150 countries, the ISO 9001:2000 standard places a strong emphasis on customer satisfaction, management responsibility, continual improvement, and organizational performance measurement.
The ISO 9001:2000 standard specifies Quality Management System (QMS) requirements focused on an organization's ability to meet and improve upon customer satisfaction and quality requirements. As part of the certification process, New Way established its own QMS to ensure that the company's customer support organization continued its long-standing commitment to customer satisfaction. |
