Corporate Experience
Artex has more than 35 years experience in developing, manufacturing and supporting Emergency Locator Transmitters (ELTs), ELT accessories and Battery Packs. Using our customer focused management philosophy, our employees follow AS9100 / ISO 9001 registered procedures to provide solutions for our customers requirements..
A strong commitment for implementation of lean principles for manufacturing, communication and other business systems started in the summer of 2004 with mandatory training classes for all Artex employees to build a foundation for improved performance with the goal of 100% on-time delivery of perfect products. All of Artex’s goals are monitored by using the Balanced Scorecard (BSC) approach to strategic planning.
Artex Lean is an integral part of the Artex Continual Improvement Program (CIP), a constant review of our processes to improve our key BSC metrics, eliminate waste and improve customer satisfaction.
