Our philosophy
Our goal is to rationalize procedure content & simplify your system
Our process to achieving guaranteed UKAS ISO 9001 Certification is well trodden, simple, robust & as follows:
01
Initial meeting to gain knowledge of your organization
We will explain the whole process, remove the mystery & hopefully any apprehension as well, gathering enough information on your operations & business needs to go away and draft a compliant Mgt System.
02
Draft ISO 9001 Quality Management System (QMS)
Your consultant will produce & email an ISO 9001 documented system specific to you for review.
03
Management System Completion
During the second visit, your consultant will fully explain the system to you & agree on any changes you need. You will be advised of any gaps you have to the requirements, advised & helped to best fill for your business.
04
Assistance in implementation
For larger organizations, there will be visits to coordinate & maintain momentum towards ISO 9001 UKAS Certification. For all companies, there will be continuous & free support by email & telephone.
05
Internal Audit of system & training of auditor/s
We will audit all aspects of your company to ensure your system is working for you & your people are effectively working within it. At this time someone from your company will be trained to conduct your future internal audits, leaving you self-sufficient with no need to pay for our services again! The audit can be seen as a “dummy run” prior to the formal UKAS ISO 9001 Assessment.
06
Finalise Quality Management System
Should our audit identify areas for improvement we will revise your Mgt System as required & assist in the application for your Ext Assessment by a UKAS Approved Cert Body.
07
Representation/Support during UKAS Assessment
The UKAS approved body will not be there to interrogate you; they will merely be looking for evidence that you are compliant with your own system & the ISO 9001 standard itself. This process can be daunting to those experiencing it for the first time – fear of the unknown. Your consultant will use their experience to allay those fears & help you point your assessor in the direction of the evidence they are seeking. ISO 9001 Programme duration is normally 3-9 months and is dependent on the size & complexity of your business/organization. We have fast-tracked to 30 days, but that is exceptional. Multiple ISO Certifications can easily be achieved simultaneously; rationalizing documentation content & minimizing consultation fees. Maintenance: We offer a full range of services if required & including, Internal Auditing, System Revision, and Training etc.
