In 2002, we learned that a certificate of international quality system and environmental system was an advantage if we want to develop more businesses and expand our business to oversea market in the future. Therefore, we made a decision to form a team to study a document of these management systems. This team was formed in the mid. of 2002 and has included a colleague of administration dept., purchasing dept., marketing dept., quality control dept. and production dept.
In 2003, we hired a consultant company to assist us to establish a management system for international quality system (ISO 9001). We spent several months to prepare the document and establish a management system for ISO 9001. In this period, the team members received training about the control and management of the documents. After that, the consultant company review the document preliminarily for international quality system and modified it many times until it met the requirement.
In the beginning of 2004, we invited an auditor from DNV, which is an authorized company for ISO 9001, to audit the document for international quality system. After modification and audit were made many times, we were accredited and got a certificate of ISO 9001:2000 finally in 3 March 2004. We also revised the certificate to ISO 9001:2008 in 2 February 2010. In the early of 2013, it had been updated by auditor (SGS).
As for environmental management system (ISO 14001:2004), we started to study and prepare to apply it in 2005 as it would be beneficial to increase our competitive strength in this industry. We spent about one year to train our colleagues, prepare documents and establish a management system for it by a consultant company. Our investor invested a huge money to improve the environment of our plant and facilities to meet a requirement of this system. An auditor (CUC) started to audit all document of this system in the mid. of 2006. After modification and audit were made many times, we were accredited and got a certificate of ISO 14001:2004 finally in 24 November 2006. In the early of 2013, it had been updated by auditor (SGS).
In order to develop more businesses and enter an industry of automotive parts, we made a decision to put more effort to apply a quality management system for this industry which is TS 16949:2009 (Quality Management System for Automotive Production and Relevant Service Part Organization) in the early of 2012. We spent about one year to train our colleagues and prepare documents. An auditor (SGS) started to audit all document of this system in the end of 2012. After modification and audit were made many times, we were accredited and got a certificate of ISO/TS 16949:2009 finally in March 2013. This indicates that we have achieved as a qualified automotive parts supplier qualification and can provide near-perfect products and services affected to quality manufacturer.
