How a quality management consultant helps in obtaining ISO 9001 certification for businesses? - 3 minutes read


Quality assurance certification

A quality management consultant has to deal with so many questions from various stakeholders of the business, but two questions are quite common. 

 

1.    Are quality consultants and ISO consultants the same?

2.    How quality management consulting firms can help in achieving the ISO certification?

 

As a business, these questions must have crossed your mind. Be with us, we will discuss these points here.

 

No, a quality consultant and an ISO consultant are not the same things. ISO deals with many aspects of the business such as quality, environment, work safety, cyber security and more, whereas the quality assurance consultant mostly focuses on quality improvement with respect to productivity, customer service and others. 

 

An ISO professional can be a quality consultant but the same is not true in vice versa. But, yes, it's true that both works in enhancing the businesses and streamlining various departments.

 

Now, come to the second question. 

 

Better Work Culture 

 

ISO focuses on a better work environment, coordination between departments, the presence of effective communication channels, and other important aspects. QC also works on these problematic areas and establishes a system of better interaction, and productive work culture.

 

Product Quality Improvement

It is quite difficult for companies not to comply with good quality to get ISO 9001. Quality assurance certification largely focuses on the quality part. In that way, businesses get ready for ISO. Once the quality improves, businesses get more depth and reliability in functioning. 

 

Fulfilling Customer Requirements

 

Do you know, meeting customer needs is one of the requirements for getting ISO certification? Professional QC from PQAS helps companies in knowing their basic requirements before working on achieving that. 

 

Long years of experience in the segment, make the work of customer satisfaction easy for organizations. Once the customers are happy, the business grows and the ISO certification process gets easier. 

 

Restructuring Business Process and Departments

 

Are you struggling with declining sales or a high attrition rate? Your answer to these problems might lie in the wrong structure of your company. 

 

A quality management consultant evaluates all the processes, finds out potential issues, and works on bringing synergy between departments. These steps create a base for ISO certification. The probability of certification increases many folds. Additionally, you do not need to work from scratch when deciding to go for ISO certification.

 

Conclusions
