Let?s Make ISO 9001 More Simple And Easy Understanding

Posted by Steve Smith on December 17th, 2015

Quality has lots of definitions & has garnered a perplexing reputation for such. Indeed, the term "quality" is often used in a vague manner. The term has very always been defined in the context of the manufacturing industry. In it, quality is the measure or state of excellence or being free of defects, achieved through strict & consistent adherence to standards to attain uniformity that satisfies customer or user requirements. Such as the most popular one: ISO 9001 certification.

There has always been lots of confusion about what quality means, with individuals saying product has a higher level of quality than another. This is probably because when people speak of the quality of a product or service, they usually refer to its excellence, perfection, or value. In point of fact, of work, quality ought to be defined in terms of how much the product or service meets its designed purpose & satisfies its original requirements.

Take for example a 0,000 Porsche & a ,000 Toyota. It would be very unfair to say that the Porsche has a higher level of quality because it costs more. Both vehicles, however, have met their predetermined quality requirements because they have been built to their exacting standards & are equally acceptable as "quality" cars. It may basically be that the individual quality requirements differ.

A company controls its business operations through a quality management technique which, if implemented correctly, will lead products & services of a predetermined quality to an ISO certification 9001. Basically put, a Quality Management Technique (QMS) is the structure of duties, methods, activities, resources, processes, & events that together provide procedures of quality implementation to be sure that the organization can meet quality requirements.

What are the requirements of a Quality Management Technique & ISO registration? To be successful, organizations must be able to provide products that satisfy customer requirements while complying with relevant standards. Above all, organizations must be able to provide proof of quality product claims. How can someone supply this proof? The simplest & most widely known is to conform to the quality requirements of ISO 9001:2000.

There's, of work, costs & benefits of having a Quality Management Technique with an ISO certification 9001. In some industries, a QMS can be very pricey to establish, if inadequate quality control processes were historically in the past used. However, this large expenditure must always be weighed against the savings in material, rework, & general issues that arise from the shortage of quality. Producing quality products is always followed by a reduction in administrative, operational & production costs.
