Increase customer satisfaction and retention

Reduce audits Enhance marketing Improve employee motivation,

awareness, and morale Promote international trade Increase profit Reduce waste and increase

productivity.

DISADVANTAGES

The amount of money, time and paperwork required for registration

Company can intend to produce a poor quality product and providing it does so consistently and with the proper documentation can put an ISO 9001 stamp on it

The standard is seen as especially prone to failure when a company is interested in certification before quality

Certifications are in fact often based on customer contractual requirements rather than a desire to actually improve quality

Competition among the numerous certifying bodies, leading to a softer approach to the defects noticed in the operation of the Quality System of a firm

SUMMARY ON HOW TO GET A CERTIFICATION

Get top management commitment Train personnel Prepare Quality Policy Manual Prepare Operating Procedures Hold internal audit Select registrar Go through registration process Obtain ISO 9000 registration
