The ISO 9000 family of standards represents an international
consensus on good management practice. Its primary aim is to give
organizations guidelines on what constitutes an effective quality
management system, which in turn can serve as a framework for continuous
improvement. The standard ISO 9004-1 (and the other parts of ISO 9004)
gives guidelines on the elements of quality management and a quality
system.
The family also includes three quality assurance models ISO 9001, ISO
9002 and ISO 9003 against which the quality system can be audited to see
that it complies with ISO 9000 requirements. The organization should
carry out this auditing itself to verify that it is managing its
processes effectively. In addition, it may invite its clients to audit
the quality system in order to give them confidence that the
organization is capable of delivering products or services that will
meet their needs.
Lastly, the organization may engage the services of an independent
quality system certification body to obtain an ISO 9000 certificate of
conformity. This last option has proved extremely popular because of the
perceived credibility of an independent verification. It may thus avoid
multiple audits by the organization’s clients, or reduce the frequency
or duration of client audits. The certificate can also help establish
the organization’s credentials as a reliable business partner to
potential clients, especially when supplier and customer are new to each
other, or far removed geographically, as in an export context. In some
countries, government departments and public authorities are requiring
companies bidding for procurement contracts to be ISO 9000 certificate
holders.
In some industrial sectors, major companies are requiring their
suppliers to comply with ISO 9000. The client company may verify
compliance itself, or may require the supplier to have an ISO 9000
certificate issued by an independent certification body.
