CIMC Intermodal Equipment (CIE) recently received ISO 9001:2015 certification for both of its North American facilities.
The company said attaining ISO 9001:2015 certification was its primary goal this year. Implementing 5S+S lean methodology drove the process through a complete evaluation and reinvention of CIE headquarters and manufacturing facilities in South Gate CA and Emporia VA. Strategically redesigned production facilities, employee lunchrooms, locker rooms and studios for marketing and IT functions have created a productive, state of the art, healthy and comfortable environment for all employees.
In addition, CIE maintained, streamlined manufacturing and administrative processes provide greater efficiencies, with the focus of improving the customer experience and the quality of product at every level.
The transformations resulted in both facilities being recognized as complying with the requirements of ISO 9001:2015 Quality Management Systems.
“It is with great pride that CIE can announce that we have achieved ISO 9001 certification on Nov 5, 2019, well in advance of our original targeted completion date,” sid Frank Sonzala, CIMC Intermodal CEO and president.
“I am very proud of the sincere and professional efforts of all our great team members.”
