ISO 9001: the advantages of relying on a certified supplier

For a few years now, our company has been certified to ISO 9001:2015, the certification that ensures compliance with quality management standards and the effectiveness of business processes. But what are the advantages of relying on an ISO 9001 certified supplier?

ISO 9001 is a quality management certification issued by a dedicated certification body. It is an indicator that the supplier’s products are safe, reliable and of good quality. It also ensures that the service offered consistently meets customer standards.

To obtain ISO 9001 certification, a supplier must form a system of repeatable processes to ensure that all aspects of a project are consistent and complete, and that problems are properly identified, prevented, or resolved.

This system also allows for the creation of guidelines to continuously improve workflows and processing accuracy.

An ISO 9001 certified partner like GBZ is qualified to benefit your business in four key ways:

Continuous improvement

Continuous optimization is one of the main pillars of ISO 9001. Suppliers who adopt this mindset guarantee maximum commitment to ensuring that all processes are managed efficiently. In addition, certified companies are required to continuously conduct audits and monitor policies, processes, and procedures.

Consistent quality products

By choosing an ISO 9001 certified company, you can be sure that your products will be subjected to a work process that is consistent with the certification and with every project. The reduced rate of variation in processes translates into consistency in the final product and order process.

Faster problem solving

An ISO 9001-certified company has an efficient system for handling problems that may arise in the development of the production process, so that it can provide a quick resolution through a tailor-made procedure.

Frequent checks to maintain ISO 9001 status

Achieving ISO 9001 certification does not mean maintaining it forever. Every ISO 9001 company continues to undergo regular audits to ensure continued compliance with applicable quality management standards. Obtaining the certificate is not the end of the road, but the beginning of a continuous process.

Investments in human resources and the implementation of an effective quality system have enabled us to obtain ISO 9001:2015, with the aim of pursuing excellence in process, service and product offered to our customers.
