The Benefits of ISO 9001: 2015
ISO 9001:2015 - Quality Management Systems
ISO 9001:2015 provides a framework for effectively managing your
business and meeting your customers’ requirements. It is the recognised
International Standard for Quality Management. ISO 9001 certification
assures your customers of your professionalism. It improves your business
processes, helps you monitor and control service and quality standards and
demonstrates your ‘best practice’ acumen to clients, employees and industry
bodies alike. ISO 9001:2015 requirements are generic and are intended
to be applicable to organisation of all type and size, or the products and
services it provides.
Implementing a quality management system is likely to be one of the most
important decisions an organisation will ever make.
Quality Management Systems are not about creating a monstrous pile of
paperwork! It’s about improvement in ‘bottom line’ profit through:
• Better efficiency
• Risk assessment of processes
• Continual improvement
• Enhancing customer satisfaction
What it will provide is a means for you to take a more systematic approach to
your business, enabling you to review and identify process deficiencies through
continual improvement. A comprehensive risk assessment and analysis of
processes will focus in ensuring business continuity.
ISO 9001:2015 is one of the most widely recognised and adopted
standards around the world, it is used globally in over one million
organizations. One of the reasons it is so greatly respected and held in such
high esteem is because it has to be independently certified.
Global QA Consulatants provide a first class service advising and implementing
all aspects of ISO Standards and quality management systems.

One of the key reasons a company seeks ISO 9001
certification is to increase competitiveness and to
secure new contracts/orders by demonstrating its
capability and fitness for purpose.
Many companies and government bodies now
require all suppliers tendering for the supply
of products and/or services have an accredited
(UKAS) quality management system including, in
many cases, the incorporation of relevant British
Standards.
By implementing an effective Quality Management
System your business becomes a leaner, efficient
and all round better operating outfit to the benefit
of yourself and your customers. It will also motivate
staff by defining their key roles and responsibilities.
Cost savings can be made from improved
efficiency and productivity, as product or service
deficiencies will be highlighted. Best practice
improvements can be developed, resulting in less
waste, inappropriate or rejected work and few
complaints. This can in turn open up the market
place to increased opportunities.
Achieving ISO 9001: 2015
Once you have implemented your (QMS) - there are
UKAS (government approved) certification bodies
that will assess your systems and if they comply
they will issue a certificate certifying that the holder

certification which will then enable us to provide you with
a quotation for our services.
Consultant Assigned

directors, management and personnel. Convert your shared knowledge into a
working quality management system. Provide in-house
training on all elements of the system. Make regular
visits on-site to advise on structured implementation
and how to generate evidence that you are working to
the system.
Assess the compliance of your existing processes and
procedures against the Standard advising accordingly on
any changes or additions that need to be made. These
are tried and tested, simple and effective management
controls avoiding unnecessary systems and paperwork.
QMS Documentation
Your consultant will work to improve your business and
eliminate unnecessary paperwork. They will assist in
producing essential documented information in order
to provide evidence that you are working to the system
for continual improvement, training and assessment purposes.
Your Global QA Consultant will also create your own
documented Quality Management System (QMS)
specifically for your business.
Assistance in Application for
Certification Body (CB) Assessment.
We will advise you of the various BRC approved
certification bodies competent to audit your system,
obtain a quotation from the CB of your choice and
arrange dates for assessment.
Its just like learning to drive - we will teach you but you
need to have an independent test (audit) to ensure you
understand what you are doing and you are doing what
you say you are doing!
The assessment process can be
daunting to those experiencing
it for the first time. Your Global

the audit and help you to point
your assessor in the direction of
the evidence they are seeking.
