FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
MOORESVILLE – Manufacturer BSCI, Inc. was recently awarded ISO (International Organization for Standardization) 9001:2008 certification. ISO certification is internationally recognized as an indicator of consistent quality, reliability and safety. ISO 9001, the foundation for the entire system of standards, lays out the criteria for establishing a quality management system. Adherence to ISO 9001 has proven results such as lower defect rates and higher customer satisfaction.
BSCI made the decision to pursue ISO certification in order to continue to take advantage of opportunities to broaden and diversify its customer base.
BSCI was founded in the early 1990s as a small family-owned company focusing on motorsports. The company has remained family-owned, and is now managed by siblings Matt Ray, Luke Ray and Greta Ray Anderson. The company maintains a solid foundation in the motorsports industry, producing specialty parts for driver safety, while having grown its capabilities to serve customers in the military, medical, marine, automotive and fitness sectors.
ISO 9001:2008 will help BSCI address some of the challenges that come with rapid growth. Its emphasis on written documentation ensures that work procedures are standardized; this positively affects every aspect of production, from workflow to filling and shipping orders.
“As a company, we work as a team with best practices in place to assure customer satisfaction,” says Anderson. “This will allow us to continue to provide quality products and services to our customers while continuously improving to better meet the needs of our customers.”
BSCI engaged NC State University Industry Expansion Solutions (IES) to help the company assess its current processes and put the new quality management system in place. IES Management Systems & Quality Specialist Adrianne Kroll and Regional Manager Gene Beneduce presented BSCI with a congratulatory banner at a private company-wide luncheon on March 14, 2016.
