ISO 9001 Consulting Services

ISO 9001:2000 consultant with guaranteed services

You get not just your ISO 9001 certificate but also a quality management system that is simple, practical and flexible.

Of course, using us as your ISO 9001 consultant, you'll avoid the common mistakes. >> How to choose an ISO 9001 consultant

Our approach

We are consultative, practical and sensible; we partner with you. We want you to be certified and self-sufficient, not locked into a consultant. And no matter which service you choose, our aim is to understand your business and your unique needs. We assess you against the Standard, identify gaps, and the tasks to close them. We plan, agree a timeframe, and guide you throughout.

And you can be sure that you won't 'fail' the audit. Not one of our clients ever has.

ISO 9001 Consultant Services

1. Gap Analysis and Business System Review

What we do: Review your current business management systems, spending up to a day or more with you, and assessing you against the ISO 9001 Standard. You will get a clear, written report that summarises your status, tells you which ISO 9001 requirements you meet (and which you don't), how big your gaps are, and list the tasks needed to reach the ISO 9001 benchmark. All in plain, user-friendly English.

This is very useful when you don't know 'how big this ISO thing is', or you want an assessment of your current position by an expert ISO 9001 consultant and registered auditor. Contact us for a quote and availability. Want to do it yourself? See here.

2. ISO 9001 Certification.

While each client situation is unique, the ISO certification consulting often fits into one of these broad types:

Silver: You want to do most of the work yourself, but need an experienced guide to advise and show you the quickest route.
What we do: Analyse your current gaps, and help you plan. Check in with you at agreed intervals (meetings/email and/or phone) to review progress & keep you on track. Advise, give practical solutions to problems, review documents. Do some/all of your internal audits.
Cost: lowest. (For an even lower cost option, see our DIY Pack)

Gold: You lack resources or time. You want to get there quickly, and need an experienced consultant to make sure you do.
What we do: a Gap Analysis and a plan, and agree the tasks. We do some/all of your documentation, provide templates, examples, etc. and make it happen, with periodic check-ins to review progress. Suggest solutions, resolve problems and remove blockages where required, and do your internal audits. But it's still your system, as we coach you throughout.
Cost: medium.

Platinum: No resources, even less time: you just need that certificate. Preferably last week!
What we do: Almost everything, but still with your input.
Cost: highest.

What you will get (and what you won't)

Your system will be practical and useful. It will suit the way you work, support your business and need minimum maintenance.

You will know what you have to do, and why. Your 'quality documents' will not just meet ISO requirements, but will be clear, short and useful (we have a range of practical solutions).

You will get the gain without the pain, because we will work to understand your unique business and needs, and help solve your problem.

You won't get bureaucracy, reams of paperwork, time-wasting, non value-adding activities or incomprehensible quality-speak.
