Companies know ISO standards may be good for them, but they may need motivation
to get certified. Manufacturing sectors have adopted ISO 9000 for three reasons: the
value of the standard, the sales and marketing advantage, and company
requirements.
Companies appreciate how the standard can improve their business processes and
reduce scrap, rework and cost. Second, manufacturers with similar products, service
and price use the certification to differentiate themselves from their competitors. “It
gives you a marketing advantage over the competition. In other words, It’s a
differentiator for customers to pick the best option for them.
The final reason manufacturers adopt ISO 9000 is that they were mandated to do so.
ISO-certified companies may require their suppliers to do the same. “It’s hard to do
business with anyone-especially in manufacturing-if you’re not ISO 9000 certified,”
says an expert who has 25 years experience in international standards. However, the
certificate alone will not improve the company’s business processes.
The goal should be improved business, not a piece of paper. Done correctly, ISO
standards can improve an organization’s business processes and add value.
Experts agree that the most important component to ISO improvements should be
attitudes within the company rather than just documents. “The key is to actually
implement it and get management involved … ISO standards can help by actually
saving money or improving a company’s environmental footprint.” they say. (Bangert,
2007)
