Customer Satisfaction
is the primary objective of the Quality Assurance Program at Wilkinson
Steel and Metals. This objective is met through identifying individual
customer needs and facilitating the communication of these needs
throughout the entire organization.
One of the major
tools used for Quality Assuranceand Continuous Improvement is our Internal Non-conformance Reporting System.
All 10 branches are directly linked through our Metaltraq system. When a Non-conformance Report is filed, it is entered in to Metaltraq, company management is notified electronically and an investigation/root cause analysis is initiated.
