Infinera (NASDAQ: INFN) has achieved TL 9000 registration for its
major facilities in the US and India, confirmation of the
world-class standards applied by Infinera to all its operations
throughout the Infinera supply chain. TL 9000 is a demanding
international standard for quality processes in the
telecommunications industry, including requirements for all major
management and measurement systems.
Infinera's TL 9000 registration represents a continuing emphasis
on customer relationships, reliability of products and services,
enhanced product life cycle, tracking customer requirements through
design and development, telecom specific performance measurements,
service requirements, benchmarking data, comprehensive disaster
recovery and long-term commitment to continuous improvement. The
achievement of this certification demonstrates that Infinera
systems meet the quality and reliability needs of the world's most
demanding telecom networks.
"We are proud to achieve TL 9000 certification, evidence of
Infinera's commitment to build a sustained world class business
around our innovative PIC technology," said Infinera Vice President
of Customer Service and Corporate Quality Lonny Orona. "Infinera is
focused on maintaining the highest standards of operating
excellence."
Infinera previously achieved ISO 9001 certification in 2007 and
continues to maintain this certification. Since then, Infinera has
worked to improve its business processes. There are some 50
additional requirements in a TL 9000 registration as compared to
the ISO 9001 certification.
