Abstract:
A Quality Management System (QMS) can improve the quality of a company’s product by establishing a systematic way of setting quality processes and responsibilities. The NRMCA Quality Certification program was established to assure that ready mixed concrete companies have and follow a comprehensive QMS. This certification program can be used to pre-qualify concrete producers for high profile projects and for those projects with performance-based specifications. Criteria evaluated during the verification process for the NRMCA quality certification are highlighted.
