ISO 9001 CertificationISO 9001 Certification revolves around building a strong Quality Management System. A system that serves as a strong building block and framework for any organization.

ISO 9001 History

In the 1900’s the need of a Quality Management Systems (QMS) emerged. Quality of a product was determined after the product was processed. At that time the consistency in product quality was a major issue. Organization with time understood the need of a system that would predict quality of product ahead of time instead of relying on inspection and rejecting part at the end of supply chain. This lead to the creation of a standard that today stands as ISO 9001. ISO 9001 set principles for standardization and help organizations globally to work towards a common quality management system. A system that would not only be a guideline for business but a tool if used strategically can help develop leaders, achieve operational excellence, eliminate business cost, and increase customer pool. ISO 9001 has gone through various changes with respect to time to accommodate the need of current and future era challenges.

ISO 9001 Certification

The certification process starts from analyzing the gap in the current quality management system, Map the current system against the standard. The second steps is to implement the changes necessary to fill the gap between current states and required state. Develop process and procedure as per the requirement needs and gap assessment. Actual process should follow the documented procedure. This builds a Quality Management System that will be robust and cost effective to the organization. A certification Body will review the organization’s current ability on paper and in practical and evaluate effectiveness. A certification body does two stage audit to evaluate an organizations credibility against the standard. Stage-1 is document review process that evaluates if the system is correctly defined and structured documented on file. Stage 2 is conducted to validate what is written is followed and evidences are verified.  At Kadmar Consultants we help facilitate these audits after we implement the system so the transition is smooth for the organization.
