WHAT IS ISO 9001?

ISO 9001:2015 is the internationally recognised standard for the quality management of organisations worldwide. It is a framework around which you build your organisations’ own quality management system.

ISO 9001 certification isn’t just about getting the badge - it brings along a whole range of other benefits. When you implement an ISO 9001 quality management system you’ll see that it:
  • Increases chances of winning public sector tenders and private sector contracts
  • Helps your organisation meet legal and regulatory requirements
  • Improves customer satisfaction; improves efficiency; reduces re-work
  • Increases profit margins; increases employee motivation and participation
  • Can lower insurance premiums; promotes continual improvement
  • And much more...

HOW TO GET ISO 9001:2015 QUALITY CERTIFICATION

As vastly experienced quality management consultants, we always look at helping you to achieve ISO 9001 requirements in an innovative way by examining what you already do as an organisation and fitting this around the standard, rather than making you change established ways of working to fit in with a set view of the standard.

As your ISO 9001 consultant, we make the ISO 9001 compliance process straightforward by:
  • ​reviewing the arrangements you have and helping you to identify what else you need to achieve ISO quality certification;
  • formulating and implementing a plan to address any gaps between what you have and what you need;
  • developing any policies, procedures and processes in support of your quality management system;
  • identifying and evaluating the aspects of your business that can impact on quality;
  • facilitating internal audits of your organisation.
Using The Ideas Distillery throughout this process means that we will:
  • ​Bridge the knowledge and resource gap;
  • Bring experience and insight to your ISO 9001 quality management systems project, considerably improving your chance for success for certification first-time by preventing any serious mistakes in development and implementation;
  • Fast-track the development process by effectively planning, supporting and ensuring adequate resources;
  • Save time and money by developing effective systems that realise benefits early and consequently get quicker payback on your project investment.
