Frequently Asked Questions
What resources will I need to supply?
As a leader, a commitment is required to:
• Take accountability for the effectiveness of the quality management system
• Engage, direct, and support other members of your team to contribute to the effectiveness of the system
• Promote improvement
• Work with us to help you achieve your goal
Do I have to complete the certification?
Certification is the end goal for many organisations, but it doesn’t have to be. If to conform to the Standard is your end goal, we will help you achieve that. At that stage we can either help you maintain that through an annual schedule of audits to the Standard or continue to certification. However, there is no obligation to take that step unless you wish to.
What return will I see on my investment?
Completion of this standard will provide the following benefits to your organisation:
Reduced costs and less waste through well-planned and efficient processes
Increased sales to satisfied customers and clear supply chain processes
Sustainability for the future
Development of an internal culture where quality and continuous improvement, is at the heart of everything you do
Improved efficiency
Increased profits
Greater customer satisfaction
How do I start?
A gap analysis of your current systems and processes will give an indication of where you are at this moment against where the quality management system would need you to conform to it. We can help you identify where the gaps are (if any) and draw up a plan of how to fill those gaps working with you and your team.
