TheSamsungQualityPolicy

SamsungDeviceSolutions(“Samsung”)hascontinuouslyenhancedthequalitymanagementsystemtoachievethebestqualityinallproductsandservices.

Samsung’sQualityPolicystatement:

“Wedeliver,onthebasisofanefficientqualitysystem,thebestproductsandserviceswhichconformtoourcustomerrequirementsandexpectations.”

ThequalityobjectivesofSamsung’saremeasurableandconsistentwithqualitypolicies.Qualityobjectivesincludekeyperformanceindicatorsbyprocessesandjointqualityimprovementprojectswithcustomersandsuppliers.
