Accurate Pattern Inc. has received the Certificate of Registration for ISO 9001: 2015. The company is a second generation family-owned business.
Accurate has demonstrated that their quality management system complies with the requirements of ISO 9001: 2015, including the design and manufacturing of patterns, tooling and gages for industries and contract services for inspection and machining. The 25-person job shop has two distinct halves: patternmaking and fixturing.
Accurate performs CAD design services, manual and CNC machining up to five-axes, CMM inspection and certification, plus welding and spray coating, as it provides products to the automotive, metalcasting, marine and other markets nationwide.
In detailing the story of its ISO certification, COO Kevin Williams says, “Our quality manager Kris Bird was the key driver in this effort. But all our team really worked together, investing over 1500 hours in meetings, documentation, process and procedure development.” The result was a series of protocols and documentation on the entire production process at Accurate, resulting in an overnight success through the certification.
The company anticipates it will explore further opportunities in its core market of automotive, plus the ISO certification opens new market opportunities. “Those are both very exciting prospects for Accurate and we’re certain this accomplishment will lead to increased business for the company,” she concluded.
