About ISO 9001 Facilitation

The total time to complete the Management System design and implementation, considering the organizations team time and number of development hours, is much longer than experienced with a skilled Quality-One facilitator. Our Management System Facilitation methodology puts those experts to work for you.

Management System development and implementation without facilitation often leads to:

  • Wasted time and disruption to the business
  • Excessive and redundant documentation leading to Bureaucracy
  • Excessive non-conformance findings and corrective action follow-up
  • Poorly defined objectives, targets and goals not linked to the organizations strategic direction
  • Management System design does not foster the process approach with limited process ownership
  • Limited or no improved customer satisfaction
  • Limited or no increased business opportunities
  • Delayed project (missed timelines and over budget) and 3rd party certification

Organizations rarely measure the total cost and time impact of a poorly executed Management Systems development. But considering the limited time the organizations personnel have when involved in Management System development activities, it is wise to consider this option.

Our customers report a greater than 50% reduction in development time and therefore their resources are utilized more effectively on their day to day activities.

The results of the facilitated Management Systems development and implementation are measured by:

  • Project time lines and budgets being met
  • Limited minor non-conformance findings and corrective action
  • First time 3rd party audit certification
  • Objectives aligned to business strategy and defined risks
