Why is ISO 9001:2008 Important?
ISO is important to customers and prospective customers because they know that our quality systems are sound and have been audited by an independent third party. This independent third party audit can save customers' money when screening prospective suppliers. Proof of ISO registration can take the place of lengthy qualification forms in Requests for Information and Requests for Proposals.
ISO is important to our employees because all of our quality processes are thoroughly researched and documented. Our ISO efforts tells employees that they are working for a company that is serious about quality and continuous improvement.
Continuous Improvement
Our quality system includes formal reports of Corrective or Preventive action, including searching for root causes of problems.

Internal Audits
ISO requires us to do internal audits. All of our Internal Auditors complete audit training and observe a "live audit" before they can perform an actual audit.
As a result, our Internal Auditors look beyond perfect paperwork and compliance with the ISO standards and look at the overall effectiveness of the process that they are auditing.
Here are some of the questions that our Internal Auditors ask when they perform an audit;
