How ISO 9001 can improve the quality of your products and services?

Businesses are constantly looking for ways to improve their service offering and ensure that they can meet customer requirements in an efficient and professional way. As a company expands this can be an ongoing challenge.

One way of ensuring that customers’ expectations are consistently met is by addressing various aspects of quality management and obtaining some of ISO’s best-known standards.

ISO 9001:

ISO 9001 sets out the criteria for a quality management system. The Quality Management System standard applies to any organisation, regardless of size or industry. It provides guidance and tools for companies and organisations who want to ensure that:

• Their products and services consistently meet customer’s requirements
• Quality is consistently improved
• Best practice is followed within their organisation

It’s a popular choice, with over one million companies and organisations in over 170 countries certified to ISO 9001.

This standard is based on a number of quality management principles including:

• A strong customer focus
• The motivation and implication of top management
• The process approach and continual improvement

Implementing ISO 9001 ensures that customers get consistent, high-quality products and services.

Being ISO 9001 certified gives companies the following advantages over competitors:

• High quality customer experience
• Reduced costs through higher productivity
• Ability to operate in new markets and acquire new customers
• Ability to grow and have the systems in place to efficiently manage scalability and maximise the return on investment.

It gives customers the reassurance needed to invest with your organisation.
