NAVTEQ Awarded ISO 9001:2000 Certification in South Korea
The South Korean certification audit was conducted by KEMA, a leading management system registrar, offering registration to a wide range of ISO and industry specific standards. KEMA auditors interpret the standards, guide customers smoothly through the audit process, and help them make real and lasting improvements in their business.
The South Korean certification follows the recent press event and name change announcement of Picture Map International to NAVTEQ. Among other things, the press event highlighted NAVTEQ’s ongoing quality initiatives in South Korea. In order to ensure the Korean map meets NAVTEQ standards in global quality, NAVTEQ QUEST testing has expanded to Korea. QUEST testing quantitatively measures the accuracy the NAVTEQ database compared to reality. Additionally, NAVTEQ provides technical support and customer program management services to help ensure high levels of customer satisfaction.
“At NAVTEQ we are institutionalizing continual improvement in all divisions at all of our locations,” stated Rich Shuman, Senior Vice President Asia Pacific. “The ISO certification of our South Korean facility is representative of our commitment to consistently deliver the highest quality products and services to ensure superior customer satisfaction in the South Korean market.”
AboutISO
The International Organization for Standardization (ISO) is a network of national standard institutes representing 153 countries, working in partnership with international organizations, governments, industry, and business and consumer representatives. The organization is dedicated to setting quality standards that make the development, manufacturing and supply of products and services more efficient, safer and cleaner. The ISO/TS 16949 Technical Specification, in conjunction with ISO 9001:2000, defines the quality management system requirements for the design and development, production and, when relevant, installation and service of automotive-related products. ISO/TS 16949:2002 is an advanced level of certification developed by the International Automotive Task Force (IATF) and Japan Automotive Manufacturers Association (JAMA) with support from the ISO/TS 176. In conjunction with IATF, car manufacturers worldwide have agreed to recognize the new ISO/TS 16949:2002 as the standard for automotive suppliers' Quality Management System requirements.
