Our intention that total quality will characterize our operations. This means quality in everything we do, both in our work with external customers and in our internal relations. For several years we have had a programme, within the framework of a process oriented approach and operation system, for our long-term quality development.
This means, among other things, applying the criteria in accordance with the Swedish Institute for Quality (SIQ) model for measuring, analysis and further development. The purpose of the programme is to make Bofors one of the leaders in the area of quality and operations development.
The company's prime aims are:
- to ensure its processes do not cause personal injury, damage production plants or the surrounding environment
- to ensure its products are designed for safe handling and have the lowest possible negative effect on the environment
