Yarde Metals Branches Achieve Quality Management System Certifications
March 1, 2014
Yarde Metals has announced that its Streetsboro, OH, and Greensboro, NC, branch locations have successfully achieved ISO 9001:2008 and AS9100 (Rev C) certification. Yarde Metals New Hampshire, New York and Connecticut divisions were previously certified.
"Yarde Metals recognizes the importance of continuous improvement and refining our processes in support of our customers' needs," said Matt Smith, Yarde Metals President and COO. "Taking on the challenge of independently certifying our branch locations to the ISO 9001:008 and AS9100 (Rev C) standards required us to evaluate our business on all levels. We had to be sure our operating models were up to the stringent standards required to participate in the aerospace, automotive, construction, medical, oil and gas industries. We are proud to have received these additional certifications and are very confident we can provide unparalleled service."
ISO 9001:2008 is recognized globally as the guideline for establishing and maintaining an effective quality management system for businesses in any sector. Companies seeking registration must be able to demonstrate, to the satisfaction of an independent third-party auditor, an ability to consistently provide products that meet customer and regulatory requirements.
AS9100 emphasizes continuous improvement and includes a new requirement for the aerospace and defense industries that builds on the foundation of ISO 9001:2008. The latest revision of AS9100, known as Rev. C, is designed to ensure a higher level of customer satisfaction and quality by placing additional emphasis on risk management and mitigation, more stringent demands on supply chain management controls and a greater focus on planning and project management critical to aerospace and defense industries.
