 Do you think it is worth for business organization to invest in an ISO International certification? Why do
you think so?

ISO 9001 is an international standard that specifies requirements for a quality management system
(QMS). Organizations use the standard to demonstrate the ability to consistently provide products and
services that meet customer and regulatory requirements. Engaged employees are motivated to
implement processes that are put in place to ensure that problems are quickly identified and resolved in
a timely manner. Your QMS, is a formalized system containing procedures, documents, responsibilities,
and processes for quality processes and objectives. It may be summarized as a set of requirements for
success and satisfaction. It also establishes continued training and developmental programs for
employees to equip them with skills to cope with the changing needs of customers. This will also ensure
that your business will continue to operate effectively even when key people leave. A key component of
ISO 9001 is having thorough business processes, and the ability to define responsibilities for quality
control, as well as relaying those specifications to employees. Your QMS needs to provide valuable
metrics such as on-time delivery to commit, throughput, and overall equipment effectiveness to
accurately reflect your system’s performance. This will help you make better decisions to improve
growth and profitability. Rather than focusing on mistakes after the fact, an effective QMS hones in on
preventive measures, so wasteful problems can be avoided altogether for the future. The certification
enforces a continuous improvement strategy, so you’re always, by design, seeking ways to reduce waste
and improve efficiency. The ISO process improves customer service for a variety of reasons. It identifies
key areas that are most important and a priority to your customers. It then outlines the process on how
you can implement it based on their expectations and needs. After all, delivering a product that reduces
waste and cost means you can bring more value to your customer, which will reinforce their loyalty to
you. Having an ISO certification is important for SMMs because of its ability to enact growth,
profitability, and cost savings. The benefit of reducing waste also allows your workforce to be more
efficient and establish ongoing QMS standards for improvement and sustainable customer success.
