EDISON LITHO IS VERY PLEASED TO ANNOUNCE THAT IT HAS ACHIEVED ISO 9001:2008 CERTIFICATION! THIS IS THE HIGHEST INTERNATIONAL STANDARDS BENCHMARK FOR QUALITY MANAGEMENT IN THE WORLD.
ISO 9001:2008
Certification means a business’s operations are approved by ISO, the International
Organization for Standardization, the most trusted authority on international standards,
as being in compliance with their defined guidelines. The company must
successfully implement a set of ISO 9001:2008 requirements to establish an
effective organizational quality management system.
A non-governmental
systemof 161 member countries, ISO is
recognized world wide as the definitive international standardsdeveloper. Coordinated in Geneva’s Central Secretariat
since 1947, it has created more than 16,500 standards, across a wide range of
industries.
Edison has made the
grade – and is fully dedicated to these high standards. Top management has wholeheartedly
adopted the system’s quality management principles which include a
process-based approach, strong focus on customer satisfaction and an emphasis on
continual improvement. The SO9001:2008 vision starts with Edison Litho’s owners,
for whom quality is paramount, and involves every member of the team. Each of
our employees takes full responsibility for whatever Edison produces; they are
involved in the development of systems; and they are encouraged to make suggestions
for improvement.
Procedures and
processes are conveyed plant-wide with clear guidelines for handling any issue
which may arise. Employees have well defined responsibilities so nothing falls through
the cracks. Customer requirements are transmitted to every department in a
clear timely manner, and processes are audited regularly to insure compliance.
In manufacturing,
irregularities inevitably can occur. The value of ISO 9001:2008 adherence is that
every quality issue allows Edison to learn, grow and improve. Documentation is
the key: our custom management information system gives us access to data on
all steps of production so improvements can be planned and implemented based on
documentation and analysis. Studying the data prompts us to review our processes
and make changes where necessary. The standards set out clear instructions for
audits and process reviews to facilitate this continuous improvement.
The clear advantages
of 9001:2008Certification for Edison are increased efficiency, productivity and
consistency which ultimately benefit our customers. Edison Litho is proud of this accomplishment.
