Dstls quality policy puts the customer at the heart of our business and helps us achieve our strategic direction and objectives.
It sets out:
- how we take a consistent, systematic and professional approach to all aspects of our business
- the standards our customers can expect from our products and services
- quality requirements for suppliers and others who work with us
We have clear strategies, policies and processes, so our customers can be confident about what we will deliver and when, including meeting expectations on cost.
We work with hundreds of suppliers and partners from industry, academia and government. This policy also explains the quality standards we expect from those who are working alongside us.
Our approach to quality management and assurance has been independently assessed through an external certification body. Although its beneficial, suppliers and others working with us do not have to have these certifications, as long as you can demonstrate you meet the requirements of our quality policy.
