We strongly believe our customers deserve the highest quality products and services and we are driven by quality improvement throughout all our design, manufacturing and delivery processes. Since our very first days of operation, we have focused on quality as one of our core corporate objectives. We have been an industry leader in quality certifications and recognitions. We became the first filtration supplier to achieve Ford Q1 in 1986 and this leadership has continued throughout the past decade. Our Cummins Filtration locations were the first filtration suppliers to receive QS-9000 certification. We hold numerous OEM customer quality awards including recognition from Deere, International, Scania and others.We feel that quality processes extend well beyond the production flow and have used the Baldrige criteria to drive total quality improvements throughout the business. One recognition of our world-class efforts came when our Tennessee-based locations received the Tennessee Quality Governor's Award, the highest level of recognition in the state-based award program.
We at Cummins Filtration care about our customers’ success. Our relentless drive for improvement continues with the deployment of Six Sigma. We are using this proven roadmap and toolset to improve our products and processes as we better serve our customers. We are driven to understand (and meet) customer requirements better than anyone else. Customer Focused Six Sigma is the way we aim to improve the customers' performance, quality, and cost of the vehicle or equipment and not just the engine and components supplied by Cummins Filtration.
