How ISO 9001 impacts the mining machinery and parts sector

In mining, quality certifications such as ISO 9001 directly impact the efficiency of operations and the quality of end products. In other words, we are evaluating the costs and results of companies.

The Quality area of ​​Máquinas Furlan explains that ISO 9001 is an international standard focused on the Quality Management System (QMS). Its main focus is on standardization and continuous improvement of processes. This increases customer satisfaction with suppliers.

The application takes place in 170 countries and takes into account the particularities of each business segment, so that the results are those that were planned in the different stages of the process.

In the SGQ, Furlan involves all areas of the company, from the production sector to the administrative sector. This engagement ensures that all employees understand their role in the pursuit of quality. The certification values ​​the organization and control of documents, performance measurement, process analysis and total focus on the customer.

In the case of Furlan, the standard covers crucial aspects, such as

. Parts traceability;

. Strict control of casting production;

. Supplier management and technical requirements of equipment.

Monitoring these aspects allows Furlan to guarantee customers reliability and safety in the use of parts and equipment produced at its unit in Limeira (SP).

The benefits of choosing a certified machinery and equipment supplier

Máquinas Furlan has been ISO 9001 certified since 2004. This demonstrates a long-standing commitment to the continuous improvement of its processes, products and customer service.

This year's recertification attests that the company's processes meet the requirements of the international standard. The external audit did not identify any non-conformities at Furlan.

This performance reinforces the maturity of the management system and the excellence with which the company conducts its operations. Thus, Furlan consolidates its culture of generating complete solutions for mining companies.

Managers of these companies often ask themselves: what is the benefit of having a certified supplier?

ISO 9001 guarantees the use of internationally recognized standards of quality, safety and reliability. For suppliers, the guarantee translates into a lower risk of failure in the products and services offered and greater consistency in the products delivered, in addition to excellence in service.

In the daily lives of Máquinas Furlan customers, it represents more effective solutions and long-term partnerships based on trust and performance.

In general, there is a low probability of unexpected plant shutdowns, safety risks and end products outside the desired specifications. The overall plant performance exceeds projected volumes.
