Many organizations
decide to Implement ISO 9001 and obtain registration because it assures
customers that the company has a good Quality Management System (QMS) in place.
An organization
with an effective QMS will typically meet customer expectations better than an organization
that does not have an effective QMS.
Many
organizations require their suppliers to have ISO 9001 Registration. Other
organizations implement an ISO 9001 QMS because it has proven over the years
that it leads companies to better operations, improved performance, and
improved profitability.
Until now the
cost of ISO certification has been prohibitive, for the small business

YOUR JOURNEY TO ISO 9000 CERTIFICATION
STEP1:Preparation
Realistically, if you are new
to the ISO 9000 standard, then you are going to need some guidance. Once
contact is made, we'll discuss your requirements with you. After assessing your
needs we will give you a price quotation so that you know exactly how much your
registration will cost. Your quotation will be based upon your company profile
and an assessment of your needs.
STEP 2: Application
Once you decide to go-ahead, we'll assign a
Lead Assessor to you. He or she will be your principal contact throughout the
registration process and beyond. They will build-up detailed knowledge of your
business and will offer you the support you need.
STEP 3: Pre-Audit Assessment
Your Lead Assessor will
visit you to explain the requirements of the standard and to prepare you for
the Audit Assessment. He or she will manage the process of procedures drafting
and the creation of your quality manual; ensuring that all documented
procedures cover the requirements of the standard. Together, you will then
determine the appropriate timetable for your Audit Assessment. Many
organizations benefit from a pre-assessment "dry run" and your Lead
Assessor will be able to advise you on this.
STEP 4: Audit Assessment
Once you are ready for your formal Audit
Assessment, your Lead Assessor will make arrangements for an independent
auditor to conduct the formal assessment. You will be informed of the Auditor's recommendation before he or she leaves your premises
STEP 5: Registration & Certificate
Following the independent
Auditor's recommendation, your registration will be formally confirmed. Soon
after, your certificate of conformity to the ISO 9001:2000 standard will be
issued and sent to you.
STEP 6: Continual Assessment
Having achieved certification, you'll want to
maintain your registration and your Lead Assessor will remain on hand to
facilitate improvements and ensure that you continue to meet the requirements
of the ISO 9000 standard.
