The tactical decision by any business to employ a quality management system, or any other kind of ISO management system and achieve ISO Certification is one that will have a far-reaching effect on your organisation.
This decision to implement an ISO management system is often taken when a company is seeking to grow or trying to enter new markets and so is already under a great deal of stress.
Businesses and their leaders will justifiably want to take ownership of the development and may assign the work to an existing person who has shown the correct level of interest, familiarity with the subject or sits logically in the company structure. However, frequently the implementation of a management system may get caught up in the detail, or day-to-day demands take over. The process can then stall and the determination to achieve recognition and certification is put on hold.
The cause of such situations is related to either a lack of resources or a lack of expertise. The advantages of using a highly regarded and experienced ISO Consultant, who has a thorough knowledge of the relevant ISO standards, are that you will achieve Registration to the Standard with an efficiently implemented management system that will be run by people that recognise how to continue to achieve improvement.
