Mr. Domagoj Klarić thanked and addressed the guests:
- One of the areas of future work is more intensive cooperation with suppliers and cooperates in connection with ISO 9001:2000. Also, we are happy to notice that the number of suppliers and cooperates with ISO 9001 certificates are getting higher. Of course, we don’t put the accent on the certificate as “paper”. Although the “paper” may not be disregarded in psychological and marketing sense, the most important aspect of this system may be summarized in two words: CONSTANT IMPROVEMENT! It is indisputable that we have to persist with this, the only right concept of up keeping of quality system, keeping in mind satisfaction of the buyers and benefits of the shipyard.
In front of the Shipyard is demanding and responsible work on up keeping of quality system due to the fact that the contract has been executed for three years time and the supervisors of the certificate society shall supervise functionality of the system and perform re-certification from time to time.
