At Velocity Metalworks, we take great pride in being an ISO9001:2015 certified manufacturing facility. But what does that actually mean, and why does it matter for our customers?
ISO9001:2015 is the world’s most widely recognized quality management standard, developed and maintained by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO). It provides a framework and set of principles that organizations can follow to ensure they are meeting the needs of customers and other stakeholders, while also addressing applicable statutory and regulatory requirements.
Achieving and maintaining ISO9001:2015 certification is a rigorous process that requires companies to document and adhere to a comprehensive quality management system. This covers everything from leadership and planning, to resource management, operations, performance evaluation, and continual improvement.
For Velocity Metalworks, becoming ISO9001:2015 certified was an important strategic decision that demonstrates our commitment to quality, consistency, and continuous improvement. Some of the key benefits we’ve realized include:
