Measurement, analysis and improvement

Management indicators have been established in the processes, in order to measure their performance and demonstrate the capacity they have to achieve the planned results.

The effectiveness of data collection and analysis is ensured to ensure effective compliance with customer requirements.

To ensure the proper implementation, maintenance and improvement of the Quality and Safety Management System, preventive actions, corrective actions, internal quality audits, Reviews by management are carried out and statistical and/or administrative tools are used for data analysis and decision making.

The opportunity for improvement has been key to meeting all customer requirements and increasing customer satisfaction; we have not only limited it to the reactive actions of the system, such as corrective actions or data analysis, but to the implementation of improvement projects related to the improvement in infrastructure, the acquisition of new equipment and machinery for the production plant.

In addition, certain initiatives have been taken to carry out improvement projects that tend to strengthen the Quality and Safety Management System and in our specific case expand our market with international projection.
