The
ISO 9000 family of quality management systems (QMS) standards is designed to
help organizations ensure that they meet the needs of customers and other
stakeholders while meeting statutory and regulatory requirements related to a
product or service. ISO 9001 deals with the requirements that organizations
wishing to meet the standard must fulfill.
The standard follows the common structure provided by Annex SL. ISO
9001:2015 is more compatible with other management systems, such as ISO 14001,
making it more effective and efficient to integrate management systems. Annex
SL provides the new high level structure for ISO management systems standards -
It has been created to introduce identical core text and common terms and
definitions. This will:
·
streamline standards
·
encourage standardization
·
ease the integration of management systems.
The
ISO 9001:2015 standard places emphasis on training and awareness programs.
Besides being necessary in order to meet ISO 9001 requirements, proper training
will make any task easier, faster and smoother. ISO 9001 is the internationally
recognized standard for Quality Management Systems (QMS). ISO 9001 provides a
framework and set of principles that ensure a common-sense approach to the
management of your organization to consistently satisfy customers and other
stakeholders. In simple terms, ISO 9001 certification provides the basis for
effective processes and effective people to deliver an effective product or
service time after time. As an organisation, you can always choose to work in
accordance with the ISO 9001 standard, but you can also choose to be certified
by an independent party (such as a certification body). In practice, we see
eight major benefits in choosing a certified ISO 9001 quality management
system:
·
You have objective proof that your organization attaches
great importance to quality and that you have it checked regularly by an
independent party. This commitment increases confidence in your organization.
·
You achieve higher operating efficiency. Organizations that
consider quality management to be an integral part of their business operations
usually achieve a higher operating efficiency than those that do not.
·
A certified ISO 9001: 2015 quality management system
increases the quality of your services and raises your staff’s awareness.
·
A certified ISO 9001 quality management system ensures clear
processes and (communication) structures, tasks and responsibilities throughout
the entire organization. This increases the involvement of your staff, which
improves the working atmosphere and reduces the pressure of work.
·
You can detect and identify problems in good time, which
means that you can quickly take steps to avoid the same mistakes in the future.
·
You make it clear to your staff, your partners, your clients
and the outside world that customer satisfaction is at the core of your
business.
·
A certified ISO 9001 quality management system gives you a
positive company image, raising you up to the level of your competitors or
perhaps even a level higher.
·
It is possibly also in your commercial interest, seeing that
more and more clients demand that their suppliers work in accordance with a
certified ISO 9001 quality management system.
As
per the above the degree of changes will be different for each company as it is
dependent upon the organizational structure and maturity level of their current
management system. Conclusions may also be made, with respect to the continuous
improvement, maintenance system with a view to reduce downtime, evaluation of
processes and vendor rating exercise, that majority of the certified companies
follow these practices. A certified ISO 9001:2015 quality management system
gives you a positive company image, raising you up to the level of your
competitors or perhaps even a level higher.
