(Montgomery, AL) Hodges Warehouse & Logistics, today announced that it has achieved ISO 9001:2000 certification from BSI, Inc., a quality management systems registrar.

The ISO 9001:2000 standard is an internationally recognized quality management system standard developed by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO). To be certified to the standard, companies must implement a quality management system embracing the activities of the company from staff training to taking the instruction from the customer, the design and development of products, the purchasing of materials and services and the delivery of the products and services. This is done using Plan-Do-Check-Act principles and Process Management, demonstrating steps taken to provide customers the services pledged by Hodges Warehouse & Logistics. Certification to ISO 9001:2000 reinforces to customers through an independent third-party, that Hodges Warehouse & Logistics operates a QMS in accordance with the standard.

“Hodges Warehouse & Logistics has always been committed to providing the highest levels of service excellence,” stated Lance Hunter, Hodges Warehouse & Logistics CEO. “We are proud to be certified to ISO 9001:2000 so soon after it's release. This demonstrates that our focus remains on quality, world-class performance, and continuously monitoring our business operations to ensure that we deliver on the promises we make to our customers, employees and vendors.”

Hodges Warehouse & Logistics began its registration process in December of 2002. As part of the ISO 9001 process, BSI performed on-site assessments, examined Hodges Warehouse & Logistics documented procedures, and audited its overall operations. To determine continued compliance with ISO 9001:2000, BSI will periodically conduct routine surveillance audits of Hodges Warehouse & Logistics business operations.

“For a company that has been around since 1970, developing a quality management system was an incredible undertaking,” stated Rick Betz, Hodges Warehouse & Logistics Quality Assurance Manager. “Hodges Warehouse & Logistics employees labored diligently to document their processes, while other employees also performed internal audits to ensure conformance. We are very proud to have gained certification.”

“By earning ISO 9001:2000 certification, Hodges Warehouse & Logistics is further demonstrating its commitment to quality,” said Robert Perry, President of BSI, Inc. “To achieve this so soon after the standard was released is a real achievement. By formalizing their documentation and using ISO 9001:2000 as an extra set of eyes, Hodges Warehouse & Logistics, will be able to improve quality and remain at the cutting edge of their industry. The company's employees are committed and use well organized processes—ISO 9001:2000 certification can only serve to improve an already top-of-the-line business.”
