Module 5
Here are six good reasons to consider investing in a quality management system:
• Brand reputation: This is priceless, of course. A brand is more likely to gain international
recognition when an organization surpasses established quality benchmarks.
• Customer retention: Consistently meeting, or exceeding, customer needs and expectations
fosters loyalty. When high standards are met or surpassed, why would customers go anywhere
else?
• Business sustainability: Consistently delivering excellence ensures and maintains a steady
supply of customers. Doing business sustainably, and producing minimal waste, is the best way
to grow and future-proof an organization.
• Compliance: Meeting regulatory, safety and quality standards is a must and a QMS seamlessly
facilitates this process.
• Competitive edge: Higher-quality products and services give businesses a competitive
advantage in complex times.
• Staff engagement: Employees who feel they are involved in quality

achieve continual improvement. It should be considered to be a first step or the base
level of a quality system.

(ISO) as international requirements and guidelines for quality management systems. It
was originally introduced in 1987 and over the years has established itself in the global

ISO 14000
• ISO 14000 standards and practices can be applied to any organization, regardless of size
or industry.
• ISO 14001:2015 is the most popular standard of the ISO 14000 family.
• The primary objective of the ISO 14000 series of standards is to promote effective
environmental management systems in organizations. The standards seek to provide
cost-effective tools that make use of best practices for organizing and applying
information about environmental management.
• The ISO 14000 family was developed in response to a recognized industry need for
standardization. With different organizational approaches to environmental
management, comparisons of systems and collaboration had proved difficult.
ISO 14000
The ISO 14000 family is designed to be implemented according to the same Plan-Do-
Check-Act (PDCA) cycle underlying all ISO management systems standards.
These tools can provide significant tangible economic benefits, including the following :
• Reduced raw material/resource use
• Reduced energy consumption
• Improved process efficiency
• Reduced waste generation and disposal costs
• Utilization of recoverable resources.
PDCA
• ISO 9000:2000 refers to the ISO 9000 update released in the year 2000. ISO 9000:2000
is quite different from the original standard. The new standard is based on a process
model that any enterprise can use, whether they are a manufacturer, a chemical
processor or a service provider.
• The purpose of ISO 9000:2000 Quality Management System Standards is to provide
customers with confidence that suppliers, contractors, subcontractors, and vendors
have documented, effective and independently verified Quality Management Systems.
• The ISO 9000:2000 revision had five goals:
1. Meet stakeholder needs
2. Be usable by all sizes of organizations
3. Be usable by all sectors
4. Be simple and clearly understood
5. Connect quality management system to business processes
