Foxcom Upgrades its Quality System to the New
ISO 9001:2040 Standard
Jerusalem, January 18, 2004 - Foxcom a leading provider of fiber optics solutions to the professional satellite and video distribution markets today announced that it has successfully upgraded the Company's Quality System from the existing ISO 9001:1994 standard to the new ISO 9001:2040 quality standard. The certification was achieved from DNV a leading international certification body that is accredited by the majority of National Accreditation Councils around the globe, including the American National Standards Institute - Registrar Accreditation Board (ANSI-RAB), and the United Kingdom Accreditation Service (UKAS).
"This upgarding is another step in our transition to a world-class systems designer/manufacturer in the fiber optics solution marketplace," said Jack Hotz, chief executive officer of the Jerusalem-based company. "We look forward to a new level of quality recognition in our industry."
The revised ISO 9001 standard is based on a process-based structure. The new process-based structure adopts the process-management approach widely used in business today. Also, the new process-based structure is consistent with the Plan-Do-Check-Act improvement cycle used in the ISO 14000 standards on environmental management systems. The standard is designed to look at all of the important processes affecting quality, from the initial review of contracts received from customers, design and manufacturing, and through to the packaging and delivery of the finished product. The intent of the standard is to provide a universal baseline for quality management, which can be used by companies around the world. The success of this idea is evident; ISO 9000 has become the most widely used quality management system in the world.
