WHAT IS ISO 9001?

ISO 9001 is a globally recognized standard for quality management.  It helps organizations of all sizes and sectors to improve their performance and is the ultimate benchmark for your Quality Management System (QMS).  It demonstrates to your customers that your organization is committed to quality and continually improving systems to ensure customer and agency requirements are met.  It demonstrates to your employees that your organization is committed to improving management and operational efficiencies and effectiveness.  Implementing ISO 9001 means your organization has established effective processes and trained staff to consistently deliver reliable products and/or services.  Other organizations are more likely to engage with ISO 9001 certified companies, therefore, accelerating customer satisfaction, marketability, and overall profit potential.

ISO 9001 encourages and promotes the following best practices:

  • A documented system of policies and procedures

  • A comprehensive understanding of customer and compliance requirements

  • Effective supplier management

  • Metrics are established and analyzed
