Beyond the goal of QMS adherence to the ISO 9001:2015 standard, O’Keefe Controls Co. has focused on leveraging the system to provide opportunities for continuous improvement. Significant streamlining of existing procedures and alignment of all procedures to maximize operational efficiency while maintaining the highest level of product quality has been a top priority. Product designs and overall offerings have expanded. The company has invested in automation, personnel, and process. All of these improvements have been made while maintaining strict adherence to the ISO 9001:2015 standard.
O’Keefe Controls Co. President, Patrick O’Keefe, states: “We remain committed to our quality management system (QMS); everyone is more deeply involved in the deployment of the system. Far from an academic exercise, the daily deployment of our QMS is a company-wide endeavor. Fuller participation, greater understanding and continuous improvement are all hallmarks of a QMS that is working. It is a team effort.”
