Corporate-wide commitment driven by the
Executive Staff
The Quality System had been modeled after the strin-
gent military requirements of MIL-I-45208, MIL-Q-9858
and MIL-I-38535 Appendix A. Heading into the 21st
century, AMCC has now modified its Quality System to
also align with ISO9001. This has strengthened the
closed loop improvement cycle by tying internal audits
with corrective/preventative action though continuous
management review.
A program plan that is flexible enough to com-
prehend dynamic customer inputs
Statistical tools in place for analysis and action
planning
Weekly and monthly review meetings to share
performance data
AMCC’s Quality System has the following components
integrated throughout the factory to meet or exceed
the above requirements.
Self examination consistent with elements in
ISO9001 and the Malcolm Baldridge National
Quality Award
