Portland, Oregon - MEC Northwest, a manufacturer of custom Printed Circuit Board (PCB) Assemblies, located in Portland, Oregon, received its upgrade of ISO:9001 certification to the 2000 standard.
The certification process was audited by TUV Rheinland.
According to Rick McClain, MEC Northwest's General Manager, the certification process involved TUV Rheinland reviewing all internal processes relating to service, delivery and quality.
"Going through the upgrade certification process documented by an outside agency gives our customers the assurance that we have the appropriate business processes in place to meet their product quality and service requirements," said McClain.
While MEC Northwest had received its original ISO:9002 certification three years ago, the 2000 upgrade focuses on continuous improvements. The 18,000-square-foot plant was required to review various processes, including shipping, customer service, manufacturing, etc.
Involved in the process were Jack Tanz, Quality Engineer at MEC Northwest as well as Don Sivilloti, Director of Quality for MEC Corporation, in Milwaukee, Wisconsin.
