Procedure for ISO 9001 Certification:
An organisation will be ISO 9001 certified by applying these three steps.
Gap Analysis:
Gap analysis is a strategic planning tool used to assess the difference, or “gap,” between an organisation’s current state and its desired future state. Gap analysis helps companies prioritise their efforts and allocate resources effectively to achieve their goals and improve their overall performance. It’s a valuable tool for strategic planning and decision-making.
Development & Implementation:
Following gap analysis, an organisation will proceed to the next phase, which is development and implementation.
If there are any missing documents or gaps in your organisation, our team will develop all the missing documents for your organisation & placed them in a BizGrow QMS System. BizGrow QMS System is an online system that helps businesses improve their quality management. It is paperless and easy to use, with features such as document management, Web Portal Forms, Cloud Storage & Email Templates etc.
After developing the missing documents to address the identified gaps within the organisation, the next crucial step is the implementation phase. This phase involves putting the newly created documents and processes into action to bridge the gaps and improve the overall functioning of the organisation.
Certification:
Certification is the last step for an organisation to be ISO 9001 certified. After successful Gap Analysis and Development & Implementation, an organisation will be awarded with the certification after final assessment.
