What is ISO 9001: Quality Management?
Over a million businesses and organisations in over 170 countries are certified to ISO 9001, but what exactly is it?
ISO 9001 sets out the necessary criteria for a quality management system. The standard can be used by large and small organisations and is based on several quality management principles. This includes but is not limited to a strong customer focus, the motivation of management personnel, the process approach and continual improvement.
What is included in ISO 9001?
Satisfying Customer Needs:
One of the core principles of ISO 9001 is to keep customers at the centre. Organisations must understand customer requirements, meet them, and strive to exceed their expectations. This ensures customer loyalty and trust, which ultimately benefits the organisation.
Demonstrating Resilience and Sustainability:
Sustainability and resilience come from an organisation’s ability to improve continually, and the ISO requires a company or organisation to adopt a culture of consistent improvement. Additionally, ISO 9001 introduced an explicit requirement for risk-based thinking. This was specifically introduced to support and improve the application of the process approach.
Demonstrating Strong Corporate Governance:
The ISO emphasises the importance of top management involvement. After all, leaders are responsible for ensuring that the QMS is established, implemented, maintained, and continually improved. The International standard mandates that a policy be found and responsibilities be assigned within the organisation.
Demonstrating an Ability to Work Effectively with Supply Chain and Stakeholders:
ISO 9001 requires organisations to control externally provided processes, products, and services. This means working effectively with suppliers and ensuring they comply with the necessary quality criteria.
Continually Streamlining and Improving Operations:
Organisations must react to nonconformities and take action to prevent their recurrence. They are encouraged to look for opportunities for improvement through regular internal audits. Audits such as these ensure that the QMS remains suitable, adequate, and effective; additionally, it also provides the perfect opportunity to highlight areas for improvement.
In summary, ISO 9001 provides a framework for organisations to deliver consistent quality and meet customer expectations. It promotes a culture of continual improvement, risk-based thinking, and strong governance, ensuring sustainability and resilience.
FAQ
How long does it take to get certified?
Implementing a management system can vary significantly from one company to another. As such, it’s impossible to approximate the time scale for certification accurately.
We can, however, give insight into the multiple factors that impact the certification process, such as numerous office locations, large staff numbers and the complexity of the individual business model. Indeed, with specific assistance from experienced professional consultants, many businesses feel safe from paperwork and minutia when applying for ISO certification. That’s where Exoro Consulting can help!
What is the ISO?
ISO (International Organisation for Standardisation) is an independent, non-governmental international organisation with a membership of 169 national standards bodies. One of the advantages of ISO accreditation is that many ISO standards easily integrate with other ISO accreditations, allowing organisations to display their strengths in an easy-to-comprehend manner.
