Introduction:

The demand of today's commercial environment on company organizations has escalated. This has caused customers to become increasingly dependent on the services of ISO accredited companies as a measure of reliability, consistency & commitment to quality supply. As Directors and Managers have become increasingly event driven by internal priorities & the ever-changing marketplace, it has become more difficult to devote the time & resources required to develop & maintain an Accredited Management System. An external review of your current Management System or the introduction of a unique system tailored to suit your company needs, can therefore prove invaluable. Operating throughout the U.K, QM.UK offer services designed to improve both the efficiency & profitability of your company, compliant with the essence of the ISO 9001:2000 standard.

Definition:

ISO 9001:2000 is an internationally recognized Standard. It is a document, which defines the elements of organization required by a company to operate & maintain a Quality Management System, i.e. Management Responsibility, Resource Management, Product Realization, Measurement, Analysis & Improvement.
For the purpose of Accreditation a company must document its practices in a Quality Manual, defining its Operating Procedures/Processes, Objectives and Policy for achieving them, these documents are assessed to ensure they fulfil the criteria of the standard & satisfactorily envelop all elements of the companies operations. When the documentation is found satisfactory, the company is then audited to ensure they are complying with all elements of their documentation, and that their System is successfully managing all aspects of their business. On satisfactory conclusion of this process a company is Certificated, Accredited with operating to a system which is compliant to the essence of the ISO 9001:2000 Standard.
Companies are reassessed annually to ensure they are maintaining their system in compliance with the Standard.
