all our operations and processes; from the moment of purchase to the write-off  

of the equipment”, says Vitaliy Radikevich, Quality Manager of the LLC Ramirent 

Machinery. “The auditing process can also help you to optimise the use of       

resources. It will be a great benefit, especially in current difficult economic 

conditions.”
