Anokiwave achieves ISO 9001 Quality Management System certification

Anokiwave Inc of San Diego, CA, USA, which provides highly integrated silicon core chips and III-V front-end integrated circuits for millimeter-wave (mmW) and active electronically scanned array (AESA) markets, has achieved ISO 9001:2008 certification after a thorough analysis of its management and organizational processes by independent, third-party registrar NQA. 

As the internationally recognized standard for quality management systems, ISO 9001 provides a framework and set of principles that ensure a common-sense approach to the management of an organization to consistently satisfy customers and other stakeholders. The ISO 9001:2008 standard provides requirements that must be met in order to receive certification, including:

• a set of procedures that cover all key processes in the business;
• monitoring processes to ensure that they are effective;
• maintaining adequate records;
• checking output for defects (with appropriate corrective action where necessary);
• regularly reviewing individual processes and the quality system itself for effectiveness; and
• facilitating continual improvement.

By receiving certification from an industry-recognized, third-party registrar, Anokiwave says that it assures customers that it is committed to delivering world-class service and products. Attaining the ISO 9001:2008 certification involved a self-evaluation process undertaken over the course of nine months during which Anokiwave fully assessed its quality system and procedures. These processes were then validated through an audit conducted by the external, accredited organization NQA. Anokiwave has committed to continuously assess and improve its systems and processes and undergo follow-up audits annually.
