What Our Customers Are Saying...
"In preparation for ISO-9000 registration, we needed
to begin to document our internal processes. DBR provided
an ISO-9000 consultant to review our operations and design
a process documentation system. Using the rapport he quickly
established with my staff, as well as his ability to evaluate
our systems, the consultantŐs recommendations created more
cost-effective operations. We are proceeding with the ISO-9000
registration process. Thanks for all the help."
Fred Buie, Keystone Electrical Manufacturing Company Des Moines
""The support we received from DMACC on our "Visual Factory" training and implementation program was highly successful. DBR staff was responsive to our specific needs, providing us with timely advice and information. I recommend other organizations look to DMACC for their consulting and training solutions. We will continue to utilize their services."
