ISO 9001:2015

Apr 04, 2019

ISO 9001:2015We are pleased to report we have continued to ensure consistent high quality throughout our services and products, and following our yearly inspection we now have our updated certificate to display. 

This certification covers all of Plunkett Associates core activities involved in providing high quality manufacturing solutions.

Over the last year, we have been committed to maintaining and implementing further, many of the necessary policies, practices and procedures required in order to run an efficient successful Quality Management System.

We have been particularly vigilant over the documentation of our supply chain management, in order to be able to evidence supplier chain quality, ensuring that our clients continue to receive the highest quality parts and the very best in customer service.

We are now ready to take the next step and our sister company, Adept Precision is currently preparing for an audit date and is hoping to receive similar accreditation in July. Maintaining and improving customer satisfaction remains the priority. We also felt it was important for Adept Precision have ISO accreditation in it’s own right for those clients who require the credentials for their own systems.

As Jo Hutchings, Quality Manager explains, 'Quite simply, ISO 9001 is a manual and a set of processes, which will help us to manage and further improve the quality of our service to our clients.'

ISO 9001:2015 CertificateSo what will it mean when Adept Precision have the accreditation? Ideally we hope our clients won’t actually notice a difference! We would like to think we’ve always produced consistently high precision parts – and through Plunkett Associates that same high quality service will continue but with the added benefit of both companies having ISO 9001:2015 certification.

So for those of you that were limited to ISO accredited companies before, Adept Precision will now become a viable option. If this applies to you, we look forward to receiving your next tooling or manufacturing requirement soon!

  • Plunkett Associates worked on the design and production of titanium frames for an artificial heart valve where precision and consistency was paramount. Communications were efficient and productive with concepts readily incorporated into the final design, and suggestions for improvements all highly appropriate. The quality of the end product was ideal and I have no doubt that I will use the advice and expertise of Plunkett Associates again.
