Hankscraft Announces ISO-9001 Certification

Hankscraft is pleased to announce the recent ISO-9001 registration of their wholly owned contract assembly facility in Suzhou, China. Preparations for their registration required Hankscraft-Suzhou to train and commit to quality assurance at every level of operations. Jon Funkhouser, Hankscraft-Suzhou’s General Manager stated, “We want to show our customers that we are serious about their success and that we are committed to their future.”

“Our ISO-9001 certification can be largely attributed to just one word, teamwork.” Mr. Funkhouser said. “Edward Zhang, Hankscraft-Suzhou’s Deputy General Manager, added. “The highest priority in our company is attention to quality management from top to bottom.”

Mr. Funkhouser noted that companies going through ISO certification rely heavily on their Quality Department to create and implement all the necessary documentation. After implementation, each department is then normally responsible for following procedures they took no part in writing, breaking the PDCA cycle, which is the core of ISO certification.

Instead, Hankscraft-Suzhou will continue to work as a team. The ISO-9001 program is lead by senior managers in the company, with the Quality Department providing oversight and integration. Rather than rely on the Quality Department to write procedures, Hankscraft-Suzhou focuses their attention on the managers in each department from the synchronous motor line to electronics, plastic molding and assembly. By doing so, each department will be involved in writing policies and procedures. This will ensure the policies and procedures are relevant and accurate. Involving employees at all levels in the company ensures that ISO-9001 is not just a procedure of the Quality Department, rather a fundamental implementation of all areas of the company, because employees believe in the goals of ISO at Hankscraft-Suzhou.

Hankscraft-Suzhou is a contract manufacturing company, specializing in synchronous motor manufacturing, electronics and plastic assembly. To learn more about Hankscraft ISO certification and what they can do for your contract assembly needs visit www.gotogmg.com.
