Why do we need ISO 9001?

Most companies that undertake the effort to implement ISO 9001 quality management
systems are better prepared to satisfy their interested parties, including their customers. Some
of the advantages of an effective quality system include:

 Formalized systems ensure consistent quality and punctual delivery of products to the
customers;

 Fewer rejects result in less repeated work and warranty costs;

 Errors are detected at the earliest stages and not repeated;

 A simplified environment for managing periods of change or growth;

 An improved awareness of company objectives;

 Responsibilities and authorities clearly defined;

 Improved utilization of time and materials;

 Improved relationships with customers and suppliers;

 The benefits of use of a recognized logo on marketing materials, if the system is

registered;

 An improved corporate quality image;

 A reduced number of customer audits; and

 An improved record management system in case of litigation.
