ISO 9001 Certification
First of all, APPORO is now ISO 9001:2015 certified. However, we are not sharing this news just to express our joy and pride in achieving this certification. Instead, APPORO holds itself to standards even higher than ISO 9001; for us, passing the certification is simply a milestone at the right time. This accomplishment could not have been achieved merely through a one-time organizational adjustment, but through the ongoing cooperation and dedication of every staff member at APPORO. It is only with everyone's diligence in following the Standard Operating Procedures (SOP) that we have been able to reach this milestone.
“Success is the sum of small efforts - repeated day in and day out.”
Similar to the saying, "sustainable operation" has been our vision since APPORO was founded, and all our strategies and decisions are made with sustainability in mind. As APPORO continues to grow, we are mindful of the potential for communication efficiency to decrease between departments. To prevent this, APPORO strives to:
1. Eliminate Borders Between Departments
At APPORO, we encourage our employees to share their technical knowledge and showcase their diverse abilities at work. This boosts communication efficiency and strengthens connections between employees and departments.
2. Maintain a Flat Organizational Structure
It is outdated for an enterprise to rely on traditional punishment and reward systems. APPORO views every employee as an independent administrator and encourages participation in decision-making. This approach fosters a sense of achievement among employees while also breaking down communication barriers inherent in hierarchical structures. As a result, APPORO enhances its administrative, communication, and decision-making efficiency. Moreover, with diverse feedback from our employees, APPORO can implement more insightful and inclusive strategies.
3. Establish Our Own Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs)
Similar to receiving ISO 9001:2015 certification, progress is made gradually rather than instantly. The essence of establishing our operational standards lies in continuously correcting mistakes and practicing self-reflection to avoid repeating errors.
ISO 9001 accreditation is a fundamental standard in all fields and a minimum requirement for outstanding enterprises worldwide. ISO 9001 builds customer confidence in a company and serves as a bridge for quality-related communication between customers and businesses. For APPORO, ISO 9001 is an opportunity for a comprehensive examination of our organization, including the rationality and logic of our procedures, the traceability of our manufacturing process, and risk management. As a precision machining manufacturer, APPORO places a high value on quality consistency and stability. Therefore, we are committed to organizing and securing information related to purchasing, production, manufacturing, and shipping to ensure complete and secure data storage. APPORO focuses on the following efforts:
1. Digitizing Our Management System
APPORO has moved away from paperwork by digitizing our management processes. This not only reduces paper usage, contributing to environmental conservation, but also speeds up data retrieval.
2. Strengthening Information Security
Hard disk drives and flash drives offer limited data protection and cannot prevent damage from power failures, track errors, or data loss. Therefore, APPORO has installed two 2-bay Network Attached Storage (NAS) devices for mutual data backup, connected to an Uninterruptible Power System (UPS). Additionally, APPORO staff are granted different access permissions based on their job levels. To further enhance information security, APPORO synchronizes essential daily operation data with a Cloud drive to safeguard against NAS malfunctions due to tracking errors or prolonged power failures.
3. Cloud Synchronization of Our Data
To protect our confidential information, APPORO uses a globally recognized Cloud service, which not only provides mutual backup for the NAS system but also allows for quick data searches on portable devices or when away from the office.
4. Instant Communication
In the past, before the widespread availability of the internet and mobile communication, communication with customers and suppliers was primarily conducted through telephone and fax. Today, we mainly use email for daily correspondence, which allows us to convey messages clearly and send complete drawings. The use of instant communication software and portable data devices further enables rapid information sharing, expediting global trade.
Looking back at human history, it is difficult to rely solely on past successes to ensure steady progress in the future. APPORO takes self-reflection and self-improvement seriously to establish our own culture. By combining successful experiences with evolving machining techniques and computer technologies, APPORO stands out in the field of precision CNC machining. When you undertake new projects with APPORO, you will receive immediate and precise responses, multiple and efficient technical suggestions, and detailed, reasonable quotations. For long-term mass production projects, APPORO also offers stable, reliable quality and lead times.
