Southwest Marine Celebrates 15 Years Of 'Crafting Quality'

SWM has grown from modest beginnings in 1977 to become the largest network of ship repair yards on the West Coast.

SWM has joined forces with Organizational Dynamics Inc. (ODI) to implement a TQM training program involving workers from every area and level of the organization. ODI is custom-designing this program, along with SWM's human resources and training departments, to meet the unique requirements of SWM's environment. ODI has successfully developed quality systems for many nationally known firms.

According to Herb Engle, Southwest Marine's chief operating officer: "This ongoing process is not to be taken lightly. Our customer and the delivery of a quality project are our highest priorities. We will continue to sharpen our company's focus on productivity and teamwork in all aspects of our relationships with our co-workers and our customers.
