Rinstrum Inc. Achieves ISO 9001:2008

Rinstrum Inc. Achieves ISO 9001:2008

Release date: 23 Jun 11

 We are pleased to announce that Rinstrum Inc. has successfully achieved ISO 9001:2008 site certification as part of Rinstrum’s overall certification for “design, manufacture and sales of electronic instrumentation for the weighing industry”.  

In preparation for ISO certification Rinstrum implemented Lean Manufacturing procedures and migrated to a build to order production system for the U.S. operations.  This means more local content, greater flexibility and improved same day or next day delivery.  We also deployed a fully integrated MRP system for inventory control and component supply.  The new systems are in place and are delivering excellent results.

 

Rinstrum Inc. also welcomes Carrie Cashion to the U.S. team as an Account Support Representative.  Carrie’s role includes order processing, inside sales, accounts receivable and general office duties. 

 

The addition of Carrie Cashion and the changes to our manufacturing procedures will accommodate our growing business and allow us to better serve you in the future.   Thank You to all our customers for your ongoing business and support, we look forward to working together and serving you into the future.
