QUALITY SYSTEM
Quality is a way of life at NYK-FIL. It is a well-guarded tradition that guides
the company towards its continuing journey for service excellence. It is a proud ISO 9001:2008 certified
company for both its manning and training operations. In 2005, the Philippine Government awarded the
company with the Philippine Quality Award (PQA), the country’s highest level of national recognition
for exemplary organization performance. It specifically earned the PQA Level III (Recognition for
Mastery in Quality Management).
With the PQA, NYK-FIL:
- Became the first in the ship manning industry and the entire
maritime sector to win the award
- became the first company in the service industry to have won the award which has been
previously conferred to organizations in the manufacturing and semiconductor industries
But NYK-FIL believes that the path to excellence is a never-ending journey. It
has always advocated the Japanese concepts of Kaizen and Kaikaku. Kaizen for continuous improvement and
kaikaku for innovation and radical change.
Hence, a year after, in October 2006, the company vied for and was successfully
conferred the International Asia Pacific Quality Award (IAPQA) “Best of Class Distinction” in Sydney,
Australia. The IAPQA was established by the Asia Pacific Quality Organization (APQO), a non-profit
organization that endeavors for continuous improvement of the quality of goods and services and the
quality of life in the Asia Pacific Region. With the IAPQA, the NYK-FIL became the third
Philippine-based organization that won this award since it was introduced in 2000.
