The comprehensive requirements for ISO 9002/EN 29002 certification cover many aspects of manufacturing, supplier management and distribution. Processes must be well-defined, documented, controlled and continuously reviewed for effectiveness. Silicon Graphics met these requirements by making innovative use of its leading visual computing technology, creating visual systems for such processes as online documention and automated management of problem-solving and corrective action.
"ISO certification is essential in today's global workstation and server markets," said Steve Goggiano, Silicon Graphics' senior vice president, Operations. "It underscores our commitment to quality and will enable Silicon Graphics to compete in a wider range of sales opportunities."
