QUALITY DEPARTMENT ACHIEVING GOALS
Bowe Machine Company is proud to be one of the first companies in the state of Iowa to become certified to ISO 9001:2015, the most current standard. ISO 9001 evaluates whether a company’s Quality Management System is appropriate and effective, while forcing it to identify and implement improvements. The achievement of an ISO 9001 certification is a milestone in demonstrating to our customers that we have implemented a reliable system of producing and delivering products and services. Our focus is twofold: providing consistent products and services; and continual improvement in processes leading to better results (i.e., reduced scrap and increased efficiency).
