“Quality and continuous improvement are two of our core values at Wabash National,” says Dustin Smith, senior vice president and general manager, Commercial Trailer Products. “Achieving recertification to ISO 9001:2015 registration reflects our commitment to upholding world-class quality standards in our manufacturing operations. I am extremely proud of the entire team for their commitment to our ongoing quality initiatives.”
The ISO 9001:2015 standard, published by the International Organization for Standardization, is an international reference for quality management requirements and continuous improvement of business-to-business interactions. Wabash National says it provides guidance and tools for organizations that want to ensure their products and services consistently meet customers’ requirements. The standard is based on a number of quality management principles, including a strong customer focus and a process of continuous improvement.
The Cadiz operation earned ISO 9001:2008 registration in 2014. ISO 9001:2015 is the most relevant certification to date, replacing the previous ISO 9001:2008 standards. Wabash National says it has had ISO 9001:2008 certification at its Lafayette, Ind., operations since 2012. The certificate can be renewed every three years following a formal third-party audit.
