The internationally-recognised certificate ISO 9001 helps businesses ensure that they meet high quality standards. The benefits this certification gives to businesses includes:
Greater Recognition- This certification is accepted all over the world, which means that your company will gain recognition and be considered more credible. Your clients will have a better perception of you, which leads to a number of other benefits.
Greater Revenues- With this certification, consumers will be better able to judge the level of quality your company produces. This can be a point that you advertise, and you can increase the cost of your products or services accordingly. You may also gain more customers due to the greater recognition of quality.
Greater Consistency- Your business processes will be easier to control with ISO 9001 certification. These standards make you more consistent and ensure that your customers receive the same level of care and quality each time they do business with you.
Greater Customer Satisfaction- Your customers will be more satisfied in the work you do. They will know that they can count on you to deliver quality products and services every time. They are less likely to complain and will be more satisfied overall since they know what to expect from you and your company.
More Motivated Employees- A lot of training goes into passing the ISO 9001 certification. It is not awarded to just anybody. This train will provide your
employees with the tools they need to gauge their efforts and productivity. Your employees will be able to know what to do and how to do it in way that boosts productivity and morale.
There are lots of benefits to obtaining this certification, but you need to be aware that it does cost money and that it will take some effort to be awarded ISO 9001.
The Cost
You should know about the two separate costs for ISO 9001 certification. The certification itself costs money, and then you also need to spend money to prepare for it.
Part of the preparation process requires that you contact a registrar. You will have to apply with the registrar and cover the application cost. Your company will then be audited, and the auditor has a feed that needs to be paid as well. There is also a registration fee.
It’s important that you train your employees in all the methods covered in the ISO 9001 certification. Your training process will need be documented, which takes time and money as well.
It may also be necessary to hire an outside consultant to help your company manage the process of certification.
