Quality Assurance
Quality assurance standard ISO9002 has been a measure of that process for many years.
However, as our business is changing with significant enhancements and modifications,
it has become apparent that ISO9002 is not matching our requirements particularly
given the speed at which these changes occur. Our system advancements, which are
subject to in-house controls above and beyond third party audits dictated by ISO9002,
ensure our business is moving at a pace that will exceed our customers’ requirements
and expectations.
Motion Industries has moved to implement stringent internal quality audits and reviews.
This process will ensure that we continue to maintain systems and control mechanisms
to provide world’s best practice service. This will result in an integrated management
approach, not only involving the quality of our output but also our occupational health
and safety and environmental performance.
