Capstone Certifies to New ISO 9001:2015 and ISO 14001:2015 Standards
November 04 2016 - 8:30AM
Capstone Turbine Corporation (www.capstoneturbine.com)
(Nasdaq:CPST), the world's leading clean technology manufacturer of
microturbine energy systems, announced today that it has
successfully certified to the new ISO 9001:2015 and ISO 14001:2015
standards.
Last year, Darren Jamison, Capstone’s President and Chief
Executive Officer, made the strategic decision to upgrade its
certified ISO 9001:2008 Quality and ISO 14001:2004 Environmental
Management System to the latest ISO 2015 standards despite a plan
to aggressively cut total business expenses by 35%. Certified
organizations such as Capstone were allowed three years to complete
the transformation to the new standards. However, because the
revisions to ISO 9001:2015 and ISO 14001:2015 were closely aligned
with Capstone’s overall strategic direction, the decision was made
to complete the transition immediately.
“The Capstone quality team spent the last year providing
organizational guidance in relation to the certification
requirements. Additionally, after a week of going through our
quality and environmental management systems, our third party
auditors from DQS UL Management Systems Solutions concluded that
Capstone’s management systems met all of the updated requirements
and certified our organization to the new ISO 9001:2015 and ISO
14001:2015 standards,” said Mr. Jamison.
Major changes to the ISO standards include an increased focus on
continuous improvement, which helps ensure a more integrated global
focus on improvement initiatives with a specific focus on improving
the Capstone distributor partnership and end-user customer
satisfaction. Leadership and management commitment are also new
areas of increased focus in the new ISO standards. Increasing
Capstone’s focus in these areas will help ensure accountability at
all levels of the organization and facilitate the transition of
top-level goals into tactical level action plans.
“Risk management and data-driven decision-making have long been
a part of Capstone’s philosophy, and these progressive philosophies
were also incorporated into the latest ISO standards. These
philosophies, which are already part of Capstone’s daily culture,
assist in the identification, managing, monitoring and reduction of
overall business risks. Finally, an increased focus on performance
measurement and organizational behavior will help to create value
for our customers and employees,” added Mr. Jamison.
Capstone Turbine Corporation is proud to be one of the first
technology firms in the United States to achieve certification to
the new 2015 standards.
