One recent and major accomplishment for GP is receiving the ISO 9001:2015 certification from Perry Johnson Registrars. This certification is the international standard that specifies requirements for a quality management system. Organizations use the standard to demonstrate the ability to consistently provide products and services that meet customer and regulatory requirements.
The ISO 9001 certification is based on the plan-do-check-act methodology and provides a process-oriented approach to documenting and reviewing the structure, responsibilities, and procedures required to achieve effective quality management in an organization. Specific sections of the standard contain information on topics such as:
- Requirements for a quality management system, including documented information, planning and determining process interactions
- Responsibilities of management
- Management of resources, including human resources and an organization’s work environment
- Product realization, including the steps from design to delivery
- Measurement, analysis, and improvement of the QMS through activities like internal audits and corrective and preventive action
“This certification puts us on another level as far as quality control and management systems go,” Petry said. “It allows us to keep a level of quality for customer service, second to none.”
Certification to the ISO 9001 standard helps enhance an organization’s credibility by showing customers that its products and services meet expectations.
“Very few businesses have this certification,” Petry said. “This puts us in an elite group of businesses, and we are proud to have achieved this.”
Other prominent certifications GP has received include:
- Houston Minority Supplier Development Council
- Disadvantaged Business Enterprise
- Historically Underutilized Business
