ISO 9001 is the international standard for a Quality Management System (QMS) laid out by the International Organization for Standardization. The standard is implemented by organizations to demonstrate that their products and services meet regulatory requirements.
An organization may choose to implement 9001 for its entire operations or for a particular operation or department.
ISO 9001 can be implemented in all types of industries, small or large, service or manufacturing industry. ISO 9001 is process based standard. It does not define quality of products. It helps streamline the processes that must be followed to obtain desired outcome.
Some benefits of becoming ISO 9001 certified are:
- Improved quality of products or services
- Defined roles, responsibilities and guidelines that are easy to follow for everyone in the organization thus clarity to the employees
- Better financial performance
- Minimum scope for errors as everything is documented
- Constant improvement in processes
- Improved credibility of business
Some companies obtain an ISO certification as it improves their chances to bag business opportunities. Others may obtain a certification just to improve their business processes.
Liberty Management Group Ltd can help organizations with ISO 9001 right from documentation to implementation to certificate issuance. A certificate could be from an accredited or a non-accredited certification body depending upon the choice of companies.
