Following a suboptimal surveillance audit, this 12-person machine shop needed to correct several significant shortcomings in its quality system to keep its ISO certification. The company chose its local MEP center to assist with their effort, and used the TAAF program to pay for half of the project’s cost.
The MEP center conducted a gap analysis, then provided the implementation assistance and employee training needed to complete the necessary corrective actions. This 6 month project was successfully concluded last month, when the firm passed a comprehensive internal audit. Their Registar will be returning shortly, and the company is now poised to retain their quality certification, which is of great importance to many of their major customers.
