ISO 9001 Consulting, Training and Auditing Why Should Your Organization Get ISO 9001 Certified?
The ISO 9001 Standard is a tool that can help you better
manage your organization. Like any other business tool, how much it helps will depend on how well you put it to
use. This requires your organization to be clear on the benefits to be gained and how it plans to use ISO 9001 to
achieve them.
ISO 9000 quality management system standards has been around for over 30 years.
Nearly a million organizations have been certified to one or more of the various ISO published business
management system standards. Many studies have been conducted on the impact of these standards on industry and and
the overall feedback on how it has helped companies is summarized below:
External
Benefits • Increased business competitive edge and market share
• Improved customer confidence and satisfaction
• Improved conformity to customer and regulatory quality
requirements
Internal Benefits • Improved operational
efficiency and productivity
• Improved process consistency and stability
• Facilitated continual improvement
• Improved focus and effectiveness of training programs
• Improved employee motivation and participation
• Led to improved supplier performance
• Increased business profitability
The extent of these benefits obviously vary from one organization to another, but
those organizations that planned and implemented ISO 9001 using external professional help gained far superior
results, both in terms of speed of implementation and effectiness of results. The payback on investment was
recouped anywhere between 1-2 years, often sooner.
