The Cargo 2000 Board's measurements have ascertained that the operational processes and the quality concept in place at our certified sites are fully compliant with the programme's requirements. "By adopting the standards and measurements set by Cargo 2000 standards, Swiss WorldCargo gives evidence of a firm commitment to its "quality" focused vision and strategy, " says Gianni Mauri, GM Process Engineering & Claims Swiss WorldCargo.
June 2005 was a milestone for Cargo 2000 in that members had to start publishing data measured by the program's quality management system for the first time. In the words of Ron Cesana, Project Director, Cargo 2000 : "Swiss WorldCargo is an excellent example of a business that fully supports our programme and is achieving significantly improvements in its performance by applying the Cargo 2000 quality approach. I believe the airline would be the first to admit that it has always enjoyed the perception of a high quality service provider but, more importantly, Swiss WorldCargo and its customers now have the data to prove that fact."
