Quality Resource Center’s Implementation Program
QRC has assisted more than 350 organizations to implement ISO quality systems since 1993. Following are reasons why organizations select QRC to assist them in achieving ISO 9001 certification:
Minimum time to first-time certification
The standard time for implementing an ISO 9001 certification system is 7 months. The events on the “Timeline for ISO 9001 Implementation” chart can be extended over more than 7 months or shortened by speeding up the documentation/review process that takes place in the first 3 months of the project.
The standard time for implementing ISO 9001 :2008 without outside assistance ranges from 18 months to two years for certification.
Pre-agreed timeline
A calendar of events is prepared based on considerations defined by your organization.
Co-Project Management
The Implementation Project is jointly managed by an ISO Coordinator from your company and QRC’s ISO9001 specialist. The ISO Coordinator schedules the activities and access to personnel that is needed for the activities shown on the timeline. QRC does most of the work for you and ensures that your personnel know how to operate and maintain the ISO9001 quality system.
Most efficient use of your staff resources
Your personnel provides input and approval of documentation that is prepared by QRC. The amount of time required for these activities is minimal compared to allocating release time for key personnel (and replacing those people) while they work on documentation.
Minimum disruption of your present operation
QRC’s implementation approach recognizes that you must continue to run your company at the same time you are setting up the ISO 9001 quality system. This is why QRC’s ISO 9001 consulting program does almost all of the work for you.
Record of 100% first-time certification
All companies that have used QRC’s full-service implementation consulting program have received certification following their first audit by a Registrar.
