Yoknea’m, Israel, March 29, 2007
Tevet’s quality management system was audited and found to be in compliance with the requirements of ISO 9001: 2000 for design, development, manufacturing and service of process control systems by IQNet and the Standards Institute of Israel. ISO 9001: 2000 has gained worldwide acceptance as the comprehensive standard for quality management systems and is subject to periodic surveillance audits to ensure continuous maintenance and improvement of the quality system.
—Integrated metrology supplier Tevet Process Control Technologies today announced it has been awarded ISO 9001: 2000 Certification. The ISO 9001 Certification comes as part of a two-year program to enlarge facilities, add manufacturing capacity, and expand support capabilities to meet Tevet’s more than 4X growth in CVD integrated metrology installed base.
Managing Tevet’s High Growth in CVD Integrated Metrology Demand
Two years ago Tevet began a business expansion to address the rapidly growing worldwide demand for Tevet’s integrated metrology products in the semiconductor marketplace. Starting with the relocation to a larger facility announced two years ago, Tevet increased its business capacity and volume scalability while holding fixed costs at near pre-expansion levels. Tevet fully qualified multiple outsourcing suppliers (all ISO 9001 Certified), increased regional coverage and depth of its international distributor and representative network, and built an experienced management team.
“Achieving ISO 9001 status is gratifying as Tevet has always been committed to continuous improvement in quality with a Total Quality Management approach,” said Yuval Wasserman, President and CEO of Tevet. “The ISO 9001 milestone is only one element in a broader program to increase Tevet’s capacity in a way that is transparent to our quickly growing customer base. Even with the increase of more than 10 end-customer design wins and three new process tool integration partners in the last year, Tevet has maintained 100% ontime shipments to every region worldwide. With the systematic selection and development of outsourced manufacturing and our distribution network, Tevet’s business model remains robust while being highly responsive in an industry known for its upswings and down cycles.”
