Am I Working With A Quality Supplier?

Choosing a supplier that lacks quality may jeopardize your business, job security, and/or ability to fulfill deliveries of products to customers. After all of your hard work, failure should not be defined by others – so who do you trust?

With so many choices, a difficulty arises. Who do you conduct business with?

Certifications are tools that allow for transparency between you and a supplier. Certifications help to support a supplier's claims that they provide efficient, trustworthy work, leading to eventful outcomes for customers and vendors.

Certifications demonstrate a dedication to quality and a willingness to work among and towards principles. They mitigate risk by offering a track record for a company before investment is even called upon. Picturing workplaces with the resolve to consistently present products to a high level of quality, in addition to standing by the company’s and the customer’s values, allows for better economic security.

Offering good quality and an affable relationship, certifications also reinforce a commitment to continual support. Quality commitment is symbolic of a business’s concern for their customers.

Certifications demonstrate guidelines that a business has met, constituting a necessary component for a healthy partnership. First by reviewing the background of the certification, then by comparing it to the business at hand, and finally gauging how said guidelines meet the needs of your product specifications.

For example, an ISO-9001 certification with NSF international includes [1]:

1. Demonstrating the ability to consistently provide products and services meeting customer, statutory, and regulatory requirements
2. Aiming to enhance customer satisfaction through effective application of systems, including processes to improve systems and assurance of conformity to customer, statutory, and regulatory requirements

 

In turn, this is indicative of continual improvement in management, production, sales and employment [2]. Dedication not only to withhold, yet to exceed customer expectations. CME is registered with and certified in ISO-9001 by NSF, and has held the ISO certification for years.
 
As a customer, you care deeply how a business is going to perform for you, not for others.
The standards for which certification agencies have established are better meters for personal experience than anecdotes.
 
Why not use a system that offers this expertise to you?
Certifications are the sensible method to eliminate risk to your business and its products.
