Q: Where to start with implementing an ISO management system?
Roadmaps for achieving 3rd party certification
Typically, our roadmaps to achieve certification are designed in four phases around the following activities and outcomes: 1) Scoping & mobilisation 2) Awareness & knowledge transfer 3) Workshops & implementation 4) third-party assessment & certification. At this stage, to keep things simple, we can illustrate the above in a concise one-page document; contact us for an edible copy to start building your business case.
Q: What are our strengths and why choose us?
Project & change management
As well as our subject matter expertise, we believe project management is one of our strengths that differentiates us from our competitors. Any size implementation is reliant on good project management and we have developed, simple but powerful, project reporting tools.
ISO high-level structure gap analysis
One of the first deliverables from our roadmap is a gap analysis; the quality of this exercise is crucial in understanding the skills and knowledge needed along with resource and capability planning. There are many questions to be asked in preparation for this exercise such as, how familiar you are with the standards in question. Also, how the organisation currently provides products and service that consistently meets customer and applicable statutory & regulator requirements along with how customer satisfaction is currently being measured.
For more information see "What is a gap analysis in the context of conformity assessment " under our FAQs.
Concise and effective risk based auditing
Our principle consultant is a practicing third party auditor and can transfer this experience and knowledge into your business via audit planning and delivery of first-party internal audits, also, where applicable second party supply chain audits.
Maturity assessment
As your system matures, being able to measure this is not only fundamental for continual improvement but demonstrates an evidence-based approach when preparing for your third-party audits. See our page on maturity assessment under about ISO.
Q: How do I maintain my system once certified?
ISO Lead Auditor-as-a-Service (LAaaS®) is a sister site of GPR PS Ltd. GPR PS specialises in helping clients achieve ISO accredited certification, once certified clients often need guidance within the first three-year cycle of their certification, this is where our LAaaS can help; we have five different service level agreements that are scalable to meet your needs and budget.
