Do You Need a Quality Management System?

There over 65,000 automotive suppliers worldwide which are currently certified to IATF 16949. It is estimated that there are over 1.3 million ISO 9001 certified companies. Why are so many companies maintaining compliance? Cost, Quality and Delivery are everyone’s concerns. Your QMS helps you eliminate waste enabling you to maximize results.

The reasons your business needs to have a documented Quality Management Standard can be varied. Many do so to meet a customer requirement while others just want the benefit of having a standard process in place to reduce variability and defects while enhancing communication and accountability. Other times demonstrating sustainability and improving environmental performance, ISO 14001, is important to others. 

The bottom line is, whether your customer demands its suppliers follow a quality standard, or perhaps your marketing and sales team has found that gaining trust is the key to market penetration, investigating what is required to become compliant is the first step.
