We achieved a perfect score on our recent ISO9000:2000 + AS9100B audit! This was somewhat of a surprise to us since our team that works continually developing better and leaner systems believe that the best is yet to come. Over the last ten years we have implemented a lean enterprise that includes leading edge technologies on the shop floor such as wireless communications to achieve work cell visibility and parts tracking. We have also developed our own software applications that not only manage these tasks but is also web based to help manage our supply chain from anywhere with an Internet connection.
