Seeking Continuos Improvement Through Quality Standards

By Rizwan Khan


Each organisation in this world seeks improvement, or we can better say that they want quality in their procedures and systems. ISO 9001 is the commonly accredited standard for the quality management in firms. It is relevant to the processes that initiate and control the products and services that an establishment or organization supplies.

It suggests the ways to control the daily activities in a methodical demeanour to be certain that the expectations and requirements of consumers and other stakeholders are met. It is generally designed and is intended to be pertinent to nearly any product or service, no matter the previously mentioned service or product is made in whatever country by whatever process. ISO 9001 is a crucial member of the ISO 9000 family.

There are many benefits linked to the implementation of ISO 9001 inside an organization. Employees will be highly inspired after its implementation as ISO 9001 obviously outlines their roles and key responsibilities. After ISO 9001's implementation, the service or product deficiencies will be clearly highlighted finally helping an organization to save remarkable cost. From ISO 9001, enhancements can be established, leading to fewer wastes, incorrect or precluded work and less beef. Buyers will observe that the orders are now met reliably, with correct requirement and well within time.

ISO 9001 is relevant to any sort of organisation regardless of the size or strength of any particular company. But the firms who are able to get most out of it are those which implement the standard throughout the organization and not just in one special dept or area. As well as this, the ISO 9001 system is widely compatible with other international management standards such as ISO 14001 and OHSAS 18001 so they can be integrated together elegantly.

Until now ISO 9001 is the most established quality framework, currently implemented in approximately 1064000 organisations worldwide furnishing them the aid needed to not only set their quality management systems but is also supporting their management systems in general.
