Get to Know ISO 9001: Quality Management Systems

When it comes to quality, excellence is expected in every industry. Quality Management Systems (QMS) are a tool that are at the forefront for any business currently striving to differentiate themselves from competition, with respect to end-product quality.

ISO 9001: An Overview

ISO 9001 is the globally recognized standard for QMS, providing a structure on how to improve processes, enhance customer satisfaction, and facilitate continuous improvement. By openly seeking quality, this accreditation can aid in building trust with your customer base. 

Core Principles

While it is difficult to whittle the idea of quality down to several principles, the ISO 9001 is formed on the following pillars:

    • A customer-centric approach, to ensure the customer is at the heart of every process
    • Contributions from all levels of the business on what processes to implement to optimize performance
    • Data-driven decision making to ensure all processes facilitate the goal of continuous improvement
    • Process changes made seek to build stronger partnerships along the entire supply chain

Let's hear from a Flex-pert

Building trust through quality: Our COO speaks on our ISO 9001 accreditation and what it means for FlexManager
“Attaining ISO 9001 is about more than having a process – it’s about client trust. It shows that we have a quality system in place that delivers consistently. For our customers and partners, it gives reassurance that they can count on us to do things right, every time.”

Why does it Matter? What are the Benefits?

There is a multitude of benefits that can be attained by choosing a quality-first approach:

    • There is a sense of consistency for customers, meaning they have an expectation that you must maintain
    • This ISO ensures that a business is compliant with the regulatory requirements set out for their industry
    • A well-structured QMS that is set at an industry standard can support sustainable growth for businesses attempting to expand their market

At FlexManager, our ISO accreditations are achievements that we hold dear. This is the third segment of this series, where we share how our ISO accreditations have contributed to our Flex-pedition to provide the highest standard of quality, security, and efficiency to our customers. We look forward to sharing the next installation, which will look at ISO 27001: Information Security, Cybersecurity, and Privacy protection.
