The way you manage your business directly impacts on its success.
Business management can seem like a minefield. So many factors need to be optimised – risk management, cost containment, staff motivation – and management time has to be properly allocated to each area. However, there is a way to make real gains.
ISO 9001:2015 is an internationally recognised quality management system (QMS). Attaining this standard for your company will help your managers monitor and improve performance and efficiency. The result: increased sales, reduced spoilage and higher profits. As of September 2018 ISO 9001:2008 will be non-compliant to the ISO standards.
What’s more, displaying the standard’s logo and mark is an excellent marketing tool. Print buyers and clients will instantly realise that your business is well managed.
A BPIF Specialist Services expert can help your company meet the requirements of ISO 9001, providing experienced and knowledgeable support to help you develop your QMS and achieve certification.
Implementation is set at a pace that will not disrupt your day-to-day business, and involves ensuring that every member of staff understands fully the requirements of the system for their job and how to sustain it. Successful QMS is built on employee ‘buy-in’.
A BPIF Specialist Services expert can:
- Evaluate your current systems and documentation
- Write a quality manual and develop a relevant quality policy
- Work with you to design and implement a QMS that will conform to ISO 9001
- Provide support and advice throughout the process, without disrupting your daily work
