SAN JOSE, Calif., USA - July 26th, 2004
NexFlash Technologies, Inc., a pioneer in Serial Flash
technology, today announced the company's certification to the latest
ISO 9001:2000 Quality Management System. NexFlash was audited and
certified by TUV America, the world's second-largest registrar management.
The certification, in addition to an already-strong set of certified
supply-chain partners, reaffirms the company's commitment to a quality
standard recognized by manufacturers worldwide.
NexFlash has implemented an unprecedented level of information-systems
management, which contributed heavily in the company's successful
ISO certification. The fully automated desktop system, tailored
specifically for NexFlash, enables the company to manage all quality
and supply chain activity online, with access to systems at supply-chain
partners' locations. This level of information compatibility and
manageability far exceeds the requirements of ISO 9001:2000.
NexFlash and all of its supply-chain partners - Winbond Electronics,
Lingsen Precision Industries, King Yuan Electronics, JSI and U-Freight
- now are certified to the latest ISO standards. NexFlash's strong
supply chain and quality management system are currently supporting
high-volume production of the company's flagship NexFlash
spiFlash® line of Serial Flash memories.
"NexFlash's adoption of this ISO 9001:2000 standard is in line
with our quality mission statement to 'continually improve system
quality through customer-driven indices, ongoing quality assessment
and training, and monitoring of our supply chain' " said Phil Frierson,
senior director of quality at NexFlash, who has more than 25 years'
experience in quality management and has guided several other companies
to ISO compliance. "The end result ensures that customers receive
the highest quality and reliability possible in our products and
