In today’s globally competitive business environment more organisations are choosing to have their quality management systems certified to demonstrate their commitment to quality. When it comes to quality management certification there are a few choices to be considered.
“Quality Management is done for a reason; do it well and your business will prosper, do it badly and it will suffer”.
ISO 9001:2000 is the world’s most recognised quality certification standard.
The familiar three standards ISO 9001, ISO 9002 and ISO 9003 have all been integrated into ISO 9001:2000. The standard specifies requirements for a quality management system for any organisation that needs to demonstrate its ability to supply products/services that consistently meet the customer and regulatory requirements whilst enhancing customer satisfaction.
The standard is broken down into five sections and is based on eight management principles:
- Principle 1 – Customer focus
- Principle 2 – Leadership
- Principle 3 – Involvement of all people
- Principle 4 – Process approach
- Principle 5 – System approach to management
- Principle 6 – Continual improvement
- Principle 7 – Factual approach to decision making
- Principle 8 – Mutually beneficial supplier relationships
