What is quality management?

​

Businesses are committed to customer satisfaction and revenue growth by providing quality products and services which meet customer expectations. This provides reassurance and resilience to the business, whilst reducing the costs of inefficient working practices, the need to address faulty products and services, or dealing with customer complaints. Quality Management also promotes continual improvement, which provides progressive benefits to the organisation.

We've helped many organisations to design and implement an effective Quality Management System, and proceed to successful ISO 9001 certification with a variety of audit companies. Our range of service includes:
 

• Establishing a framework for your Quality Management System (QMS)

• Creating and implementing appropriate quality policies and procedures

• Quality training for your employees and contractors

• Managing the quality of products and services from your supply chain

• Identification and management of non-conforming products and services

• Planning and conducting internal audits

• Preparation and support for external certification assessments

​

A helpful guide on what to expect during the stages of an external assessment has been prepared by LRQA. To purchase your own copy of the current ISO9001 standard, see our helpful guide.
