ISO 9001 Quality Assurance Certification & QMS

The ISO 9001 Quality Management System approach offers a comprehensive framework on which to build processes that help ensure key business objectives are achieved. ISO 9001 has received widespread international recognition as over one million certificates worldwide have been issued and still growing. ISO 9001 compliant business quality management systems have been adopted across all industry types, from manufacturing through to professional service organizations. This level of recognition and acceptance is a reflection of the flexibility and proven practical value it offers a variety of businesses.

An ISO 9001-based  management system is flexible in its application, and ISO Quality Assurance certification can deliver a range of benefits depending on the nature of the system and business concerned. These can range from:

• Public confirmation – that your organization can deliver a high level product and/or service, which instills trust and confidence in the supply chain that trading can continue smoothly.
• Commitment to shareholders – the organization is subject to rigorous audits to ensure compliance to standards and continuous improvement, which demonstrates that the organization is dedicated to BEST PRACTICE management.
• Market Recognition – receive the right to display an approved certification body marque and be immediately recognized by your clients, consumers and other stakeholders.
• Effective Risk Management - independent audits ensure an ISO Quality Managment System management identifies and implements risk management strategies, which can reduce the likelihood of future liability claims.
• Reduced Expenses - documented procedures often reduce the level of waste and duplication of processes within an organization, which in turn may lead to increased profits.
• Market Entry – gaining ISO 9001 quality assurance certification often results in greater market opportunities, as ISO 9001 is recognized and often essential when selecting business partners worldwide.
• Enhanced Corporate Knowledge – directors receive a transparent and independent representation of how the organization is performing through the delivery of an objective audit report.
• Improved Employee Commitment - third party audits provide an opportunity to facilitate improvement ideas from the base of the organizational hierarchy through to the directors, which in turn boosts staff morale and reduces turnover of staff.
