Quality Management

A quality management system provides organisations with a structured method of recording 'best practice' and a planned means of achieving continual improvements through the setting of objectives and targets. The revised ISO 9001:2000 Standard is less demanding than its previous version regarding the level of paperwork, procedures and detail considered essential for an effective management system. Indeed, it looks much more closely at achievements, improvements, levels of customer satisfaction; rather than looking for strict conformity to precise procedures and work instructions.

ISO 9001:2000

ISO 9001 is the international standard for a Quality Management System. As with ISO 14001 the Environmental Management System Standard, a quality management system can be independently accredited.
