DA AI Technology Fulfills ISO Spirit: An Exemplary Enterprise

Caption: The consultant Mr. Wu Ji-Feng (bowing), was there when DA.AI Technology received its ISO 9001 and ISO 14001 certification. DA.AI Technology Executive Director Mr. Ding-Ming Lee (standing at the head of the table) reminded the room that “DA AI Technology hopes to leverage ISO certification to help us promote Tzu Chi’s spirit and great love. The certificate also encourages DA.AI staff members to continue making every effort to maintain high quality management standards.” Having successfully passed ISO (International Organization for Standardization) audits on September 25 and 26, DA.AI Technology received both ISO9001 and ISO14001 certification, for quality management and environmental management systems respectively. ISO 9001 is the internationally recognized standard for quality management practices. After the two-day audits--including BSI (British Standard Institute) on-the-spot checks—DA.AI Technology received high praise from three auditors. The team invited DA.AI Technology to share its experience at BSI's annual conference, and plans to recommend DA.AI's green products to international companies seeking ISO certification.

DA.AI Technology wishes to express the company's sense of great love and immense gratitude to sentient beings and the Earth. Led by consultant Mr. Wu Ji-Feng, it spent two years establishing a quality management system to meet ISO 9001 standards. The system includes establishing quality policies, writing quality documentation (a quality manual, procedures and forms), training staff members, and maintaining detailed improvement records.

Mr. Ding-Ming Lee, Executive Director of DA.AI Technology, stated that “DA AI Technology hopes to promote Tzu Chi’s spirit and great love by being granted ISO certification. Certificate will also encourage DA.AI’s staff members to make quality management an ongoing goal of our company.” “It’s simply an entrance, not a graduate certification,” he stated. Huei-Ling Liao of the Design Department added, “Establishing standard operating procedures (SOP), providing constant internal training, producing quality green products and transforming DA.AI into an international Green brand are our achievable goals.”

Caption: Through establishing ISO quality systems, DA.AI staff members have learned about the concepts and implementation of SOP (Standard Operating Procedure). Over the five-year auditing process, their strong determination and efficiency has become the DA AI “brand.”  External Auditors: Manager Yu-Zhong Guo (on the far right) and Assistant Manager Xin-Zuo Lin (to his right).

As QC staff member Teng-Yu Hu put it, “My workload temporarily increased as a result of meeting ISO quality management standards; but going through the process allowed me to learn about SOP concepts and implementation. Workplace efficiency and quality control soon improved—along with internal cooperation. To more quickly reach the goal of ‘Co-exist with Mother Earth,’ we also promote the ISO 14001 standard for an environmental management system. Our staff's strong determination and practical approach throughout the five years to “do what DA.AI Tech says'--served as an inspiring sutra.”
