ISO 9001:2008/AS9100 Quality Management Systems Implementations

ISO 9001:2008 is the newest version of ISO 9001:2000. We offer ISO 9001 and AS 9100 implementation for today's world, fast, efficient and cost effective. Our goal is to help you develop the right quality system for your organization. Whether you are seeking ISO 9001 certification, or AS 9100 because your customer said you had to do it, or you just want to make your company more competitive, we will help you every step of the way.

ISO 9001 is about defining, measuring and improving processes. The key to a successful and meaningful ISO 9001 system is to understand how to measure the success of processes so it can then be determined which processes require additional focus for improvement.

Many companies go into ISO 9001 implementation or AS 9100 implementation thinking that they must document everything to be compliant with the standard. Nothing could be further from the truth; in fact these companies tend to trip themselves up by over documenting and creating non-conformances that have nothing to do with meeting the standard. ISO 9001 put simply, is a total quality/business management system based on the very simple continual improvement methodologies of plan, do, check and act. ISO 9001 is designed to offer organizations the maximum freedom to create a quality management system that meets their individual business needs.

If you have been lead to believe that getting certified to a quality standard is too time consuming or costly, you have been sorely miss informed. If you are doing what you say you are doing, you are already half way there. Documenting your system and then training everyone to it, is the next step. Our systems are straight forward and user friendly. You will attain certification and it will not cost you an arm and a leg to get there.

Don’t allow yourself to be mislead into believing getting registered to a quality standard is a high cost, low value add expense. Companies that do attain certification to ISO 9001:2008, AS9100 or some other business management system, will improve their bottom line by consistently satisfying their customers. Let us help you attain your goals; call us now for a successful tomorrow.

"Reduced Costs due to improved control and consistancy"

Internal and External Auditing (ISO 9001 and AS 9100)

How a management system is audited and the data that comes out of a management system is analyzed will directly relate to how much money a company saves by using an ISO 9001 system. If a company wants the most from its internal audit system, it must go above and beyond checking to see if it does what it says, says what it does.”

Questions such as these must be asked:

How is the effectiveness of this process measured?
What is done when desired results are not achieved?
Why is something done in a certain way?
How do other departments affect this process?
What could improve this process?
What are some preventive actions that can be taken or have already been implemented for
this process to prevent a potential problem?

The answers to these questions are what management will review to decide if it needs to, or
should, take action to improve the process. The management team does not really care about
pages of filled out checklists in a book that says the processes match the procedures and that
there were no findings. If the management team is going to invest time and resources into the
auditing activity, it wants to have information brought to it on how it can improve processes
and ultimately make the company better.
