January 31, 2012
From the CARF International Survey Report, December, 2011
Foothills demonstrates exemplary conformance to the standards in the following area:
“Foothill Industries, through its partnership with MARC, has expanded its medical drape business tremendously, resulting in a 40 percent increase in manufacturing revenue for the organization in just three years. The equipment used is state of the art, and the increase in demand for product has had many positive benefits for the organization. This includes greater revenue, increased wages, and a 66 percent increase in average productivity for the persons served. In addition, it offers an opportunity for the persons served to work as traditional production workers for the organization-work that includes benefits and wages. In addition to meeting the stringent requirements for ISO 13485 certification, the organization performs supplemental in-process checks, both to ensure accurate product and to give meaningful feedback to the persons served that results in better work performance.”
