“It was employee participation, improvements, and the standardization of our safety management system that improved our organization the most, but it was SimpleQue that provided us the insight into where we needed to focus our resources. Jared, was one of the first people I informed and thanked for our certification with zero findings and eight opportunities for improvement. This is the second time SimpleQue has provided Rieke with a Gap Analysis (ISO9001 and ISO45001), and it is SimpleQue that provided us the roadmaps to achieving our certifications.” – Sherry Anderson, Quality/Production Manager – Rieke Packaging Systems
