 ISO 9001 is an international standard for Quality Management that is generically written so that it can be applied to all types of organizations. The standard is published by the International Organization for Standardization and is used throughout the world. For a company to become registered (certified) to the standard, it must first pass an initial audit. To maintain its certification, the company must also pass periodic surveillance audits.
Many companies are requiring that their suppliers become ISO 9001 certified, and many more prefer it. So achieving ISO certification provides, among other things, a tremendous marketing potential for you and your business. An additional benefit is that, internally, it can help an organization bring about improvement in efficiencies. This equates to enhanced productivity and reduced costs. Weber and Associates is able to walk you through the ISO 9001 Certification process, as we have helped many companies in widely diverse industries. Our experience, dedication and level of expertise has led to some companies reaching certification in as little as four months. We can help you too!
