MEP's Role
MEMSCAP has leaned on IES for continuous support after it helped them receive its ISO 9001 certification. In late 2020, IES improvement specialist Nora Milley and Barbara Williams assisted MEMSCAP with a three-day Internal Auditing Support for ISO 9001:2015 renewal. “For three days, they trained four of us. They were so patient. They didn’t make it feel like work, “ Site Manager Christine Schmid said. “They got us where we needed to be. We had a three-day audit to get re-certified and we had one minor corrective action.”
Schmid says they appreciated the patience that IES showed them, “It wasn’t like they threw the book at us and told us to read it. They took their time to teach us and made sure we understood no matter how long it took. Schmid is constantly impressed by IES’ proactiveness, “Sometimes Nora will call me to ask how I am doing—how the organization is doing. She asks what we may need and to send her any information that she can help with. They’re very proactive.” In the coming years, MEMSCAP says they’re hoping to continue to call on IES to help identify growth opportunities, increase employee recruitment and retention and increase the sustainability of their products. “It’s like they really care about you and you aren’t just another client.
