Quality Management Systems

Are you an Adelaide business which has come to recognise the importance of having a Quality Management System (QMS)? Perhaps you are about to embark on the journey of implementing a QMS like ISO 9001 standard in your business?

Having a good QMS in place is the first and most fundamental step in getting your business into good shape. All other standards and programs are built upon a QMS. There are many advantages to having a QMS in place such as stature & reputation, producing consistently good product, service or result outputs, providing enhanced customer satisfaction whilst also meeting applicable statutory & regulatory requirements – to name a few. But the journey to having a QMS in place can be hard and long for some. Typically, the larger the business is, the harder the implementation process is. That’s where we can help…

We offer hands-on guidance through the entire process from start to certification, and beyond if required. We offer ‘installed’ or on-site project personnel to help with some of the crucial tasks in getting ready to be audited, and ultimately certified.

Here’s a snapshot of some of the steps, and where we can help;

  • Establishing the business case
  • Getting exec management & senior leadership buy-in
  • Initial analysis of existing processes, systems of work, infrastructure and more
  • Deciding on realistic time frames, budgets, resources, and writing charter
  • Identifying the gaps, and determining how to transition from current state to future state
  • Establishing internal leaders and champions, and training them in the values, principles and know-how to aid the process both now, and for the long-haul
  • Documentation creation and updates
  • Establishment of new processes and systems of work and rolling them out across the business (training)
  • Continuous assessment
  • Meeting facilitation, agenda writing, minute writing & distribution
  • Certification progress tracking
  • Risk analysis
  • Team training & knowledge transfer
  • On-going mentoring & coaching

We offer the help you need, when you need it, and on a cadence that suits your team and budget.

We can provide Business Analysts, Project Coordinators, Project Managers, Project Leaders & Technical Document Writers to supplement your team, and to help you on your journey.

Due to business complexity and the significant change management aspects of getting ready for an initial audit, we can’t guarantee certification….but we can assure you we’ll be with you on the journey, and do our best to smooth the process, and to make it as painless as possible.

Let’s be frank though, if the exec’s and leaders within the business aren’t engaged, the process will fail. This is the most crucial requirement to having the process succeed in getting your business certified at the end of the process.

We will work with your chosen Certification Body (for example BSI Group, TQCSI) in order to achieve your ISO 9001:2015 accreditation.

With focus, and a good plan, it is definitely possible, and so so worth it!
