SEA Wire and Cable, Inc., a provider of supply chain solutions for the mil-spec wire and cable industry, announced that the company achieved compliance with new, stringent AS9100 Rev C quality system requirements for aviation, space, and defense markets.
"We strive to ensure the highest quality products, processes, and quality management systems by proactively achieving key certifications, which aligns with our commitment to continuous improvement in all areas of operations," comments Marty Clark, general manager of SEA Wire and Cable, Inc.
The new revision of AS9100 includes an increased focus on risk management, supplier management controls, on-time delivery, and product conformity measurements, including taking appropriate actions against vendors when planned results are not achieved. SEA cites more than 40 years of experience in the wire harness supply industry which enabled it to achieve the AS9100 Rev C certification.
Clark continues, "In addition, achieving or exceeding the tighter customer satisfaction requirements in AS9100 Rev C allows us to offer an added level of quality assurance to our customers, and further solidify our reputation as a trusted and proven provider of highly reliable and secure products."
