Why is ISO 9001 2008 Important?

What is ISO 9001 2008?

ISO 9001 is an international quality management standard. It is rapidly becoming the most popular quality standard in the world. Thousands of organizations in over 100 countries have adopted it, and many more are in the process of doing so. 

Why? Because it controls quality. It saves money. Customers expect it. And competitors use it.

ISO 9001 applies to all types of organizations. It doesn't matter what size they are or what they do. It can help both product and service oriented organizations achieve standards of quality that are recognized and respected throughout the world.

ISO is the International Organization for Standardization. It is located in Switzerland and was established in 1947 to develop common international standards in many areas.

Its members come from over 150 national standards bodies. ISO's purpose is to facilitate international trade by providing a single set of standards that people everywhere would recognize and respect.

Why is ISO 9001 2008 Important?

ISO 9001 is important because of its orientation. While the content itself is useful and important, the content alone does not account for its widespread appeal. 

ISO 9001 is important because of its international orientation. Currently, ISO 9001 is supported by national standards bodies from more than 150 countries. This makes it the logical choice for any organization that does business internationally or that serves customers who demand an international standard of excellence.

ISO 9001 is also important because of its systemic orientation. We think this is crucial. Many people wrongly emphasize motivational and attitudinal factors. The assumption is that quality can only be created if workers are motivated and have the right attitude. This is fine, but it doesn't go far enough. Unless you institutionalize the right attitude by supporting it with the right policies, procedures, records, technologies, resources, and structures, you will never achieve the standards of quality that other organizations seem to be able to achieve. Unless you establish a quality attitude by creating a quality management system, you will never achieve a world-class standard of quality.

Finally, ensure you have a right partner which had been ISO 9001:2008 certified and we have it to ensure customer satistaction.
