In a time of Global Economic uncertainty good news is becoming rare. That’s why it is so good to hear about Australian company who is being acknowledged for its commitment to high quality home grown manufacture.
Setec a Melbourne based Manufacturing company has been awarded the “SAI Global 20 years of Management Systems” certification. This acknowledgement is a significant milestone as it recognises that Setec has shown such a long-term commitment to quality standards for over 20 years.
CEO, David Bayliss and Quality Manager, Gary Gan represented Setec at the ceremony on the 18th of November 2010, where David received the award and certificate.
Setec has been manufacturing power supplies for over 40 years and have been distributing them throughout the world. Its Australian Headquarters boasts over 2,500 square metres (27,000 square feet) of modern factory and stores floor space. They have Antistatic, ElectroStatic Discharge (ESD) proof flooring, covering 1500 square metres. This in-house manufacturing operation provides SETEC with a strategic high quality standard, as it enables streamlining of SETEC’s time-to-market process. To meet the needs of its customers, SETEC has been RoHS and WEEE compliant since June 2006.
Setec’s Quality Manager Gary Gan has over 20 years of international process engineering and manufacturing experience within companies such as Hewlett Packard, Iomega and Agilent. With over 15 years in quality management he has earned much experience and qualifications and currently holds the Six Sigma Champion certification.
“Quality is not created by accident,” says Gary Gan “It is the business management and teamwork as well as good customer feedback. It is the process of planning and continually improving on everything you do.”
Gary started with Setec as their quality manager two years ago and has been constantly impressed with their commitment to quality. “Setec’s quality systems meet international standards and are comparable to the multi-national companies that I had worked with,” he says when explaining his first thoughts of joining the company. “With customers from all over the world and especially those within the Medical and Defence industries a very high standard is needed.
“It’s great to be acknowledged this way, but it so important to continually improve on what you do,” says CEO David Bayliss, “That’s why Setec are currently in the process of obtaining a LEAN manufacturing standard which will allow us to always be striving for a more efficient and cost effective way of manufacturing”.
The SAI Global, “Management Systems Awards” have always been highly regarded as the benchmark for many manufacturing organisations throughout the world. This award given to Setec is particularly exceptional as it been initiated by SAI Global, as apposed to Setec being an applicant, and is recognition of 20 years of quality Australian manufacturing.
