The ACET Department within Oceaneering is accredited to BS/EN/ISO 9001:2008 and the TickIT Guide for:
“The development, implementation and support of the ACET (Asset Condition Evaluation Tool) suite of products and supporting software for the management of corrosion and inspection in various industries worldwide”.
Accreditation was first achieved in 2002 with no incidents of non-conformance.
"By introducing a quality system into the ACET department and our day to day work we have adopted a standard approach to the development, implementation and support processes, which gives the ACET team control and continuity of product quality through all stages of its life cycle" - Nigel Smith, ACET Department Manager.
There are many benefits associated with the implementation of a quality system including:
· A high quality end product, (less defects, ease of use, reliability, etc.).
· Improved services, (better / faster acquisition of customers current / future needs and expectations).
· Increased efficiency and flexibility, (easier maintenance, less fixes, etc.).
