UNE-EN ISO 9001:2015 Quality management systems

For many companies, it is usually the first step, sometimes imposed by regulations and competitions that require it. It is the beginning of a journey which is not known much and which for some is an opportunity and for others "more meaningless work" viewed with distrust and suspicion. What more reasons to be accompanied by accreditation experts?

The reasons why an organisation considers ISO 9000 certification are very varied: Improvement of the organisation, regulations that require it, public competitions…

Whatever the reason, the manager, technician or middle manager leading the project has different fronts open: preparation of documentation, staff involvement, implementation, contacts with the certifying entity…

It is not uncommon for there to be some level of opposition. Middle managers and workers, in general, may perceive “ISO 9000” as a threat, an over-effort that does not provide them anything, “papers”, “bureaucracy”, “until today we have not needed it”, “it is worth nothing “. These are frequent opinions among the most critical and sceptical people.

ISO 9001 Gestion Calidad

In a project with these characteristics, clear leadership supported by knowledge and experience is essential. While the project takes time to establish, it should not become eternal either. Indeed having experts who are in charge of preparing the documentation and supporting the implementation and certification can be decisive.

The results are precise: obtaining ISO 9000 certification improves the operation of the company; it does not hinder it.

The impact of UNE-EN ISO 9001 has been enormous throughout the world. It is undoubtedly the most international standard. It is not understood that so many companies from so many countries, of various sizes and so diverse sectors maintain accreditation if its value is zero.

ISO 9001 calidad

A well-structured UNE-EN ISO 9001: 2015 Quality Management System provides confidence, in particular, because the company:

  • Establishes adequate operating systems for its products and processes,
  • Analyses and understands the needs and expectations of customers,
  • Is aware of the legal and regulatory requirements applicable to its products,
  • Sets the characteristics of the products and services it provides,
  • Manages the processes to achieve the expected results,
  • Ensures that they have the necessary resources for their activity,
  • Monitors and controls the defined characteristics of its products and services,
  • Avoids non-conformities,
  • Implements continuous improvement processes,
  • Establishes effective internal audit and management review processes,
  • Monitors and measures the effectiveness of the quality management system.

The ISO 9000 certification also contributes to enhancing the company’s image, favours its commercial and marketing policy and facilitates the achievement of public tenders.

Many of our clients achieve better results in addition to pure certification. Our proposals are a powerful tool that acts as a catalyst, enhances efficiency and mobilises staff around a typical project: The company and its improvement.

After an ISO 9000 project, some of those who were detractors may become its most ardent advocates. The project is no longer a threat because they understand it, and it is an instrument that facilitates the day-to-day, management and operation of the company.
