Quality, safety, and efficiency are crucial factors in all industries. While companies may have their own standards and success metrics, the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) provide the benchmark for where a company should strive to be.
ISO sets the global standards for industries. These are built around elements such as quality, safety, and efficiency. By following these standards, companies can see improvements with respect to performance, market competitiveness, and customer satisfaction.
Since its inception in 1947, ISO has sought to create international standards that promote three pillars: quality, safety, and efficiency. Today, ISO has grown to include entities from over 160 countries to set dynamic standards and guidelines for industry (Source: ASNI). From IT systems to environmental management, the impact of these standards can be seen across many industries that affect our daily lives.
In a world where consistency in quality are key inputs to success, ISO offer businesses a clear framework to maintain a high-quality in their products and services. By following these guidelines, businesses can identify inefficiencies and manage risk. These aspects not only improve productivity and overall performance at an individual business level, but industry wide.
These standards are, as the name suggests, internationally recognized. This can aid budding businesses that seek to grow in an international market. By adhering to these standards, companies can demonstrate compliance at a global level, facilitating international partnerships. These standards set a common language for quality, safety, and efficiency, enabling industries to meet customer expectations consistently.
