ISO 9001

 

Traditional views of quality control and assurance methods have produced a negative legacy which ISO 9001 2000 seeks to address by its newly simple, proactive, and adaptable approach.

Its popularity has been promoted by its use as a supply chain management tool by many large industries, who quickly saw the cost benefits of requiring suppliers to be independently audited and certified to ISO 9001, rather than maintaining their own staff to carry this out.

The ISO 9000 standard is continually being revised by standing technical committees and advisory groups, who receive feed back from those professionals who are implementing the standard.

ISO 9001 2000 can be seen by some as a rubber stamp where minimal compliance is sought, rather than as a means to facilitate the move to a continual improvement ethos within an organisation.

Gibbons Roscoe Limited aims to work alongside its clients enabling them to make the journey at their own pace from mere compliance to enhanced performance.
