Quality Management
Waterworks is an ISO 9001:2015 accredited company committed to a high level of quality throughout the organisation. To gain this accreditation Waterworks has both written and implemented a Quality Management System (QMS) which ensures all departments are united in our commitment to uphold a first-class level of customer service along with delivering high quality product.
The QMS involves monitoring and reporting of any customer issues, internal and external non-conformance, monthly internal audits, and ensuring staff are appropriately trained to reach the high standards Waterworks is committed to.
What does this accreditation mean for our customers?
The purpose of gaining this accreditation, along with introducing advanced structure to the organisation, is to ensure customer satisfaction in all transactions, whether it be an order, enquiry, or even a complaint. Firstly, we have implemented systems whereby enquiries, suggestions, or complaints are recorded and attended to by appropriate personnel. Secondly, any product or system non-conformance is recorded and addressed by appropriate staff working with other key stakeholders. This means the customer can have absolute peace of mind and enhances our commitment to be the supplier of choice to New Zealand pipeline installers, be an essential distribution channel for global manufacturers of high-quality products, provide our team with opportunities to personally thrive in a positive and sustainable environment, and support community welfare.
