ISO stands for International Organization for Standardization. ISO is the global standardization body which defines standards in a variety of fields. ISO 9001 is the most popular standard which has been developed by ISO. ISO 9001 is the standard for Quality Management systems of organizations. ISO 9001 is so very popular that when people say ‘ISO certification’, they actually mean ISO 9001 certification. ISO 9001 standard defines the requirements of Quality Management systems of the organizations which when complied to and verified by a certification body, qualifies the organization for ISO 9001 certification. It is important to note that ISO 9001 is a standard for Quality Management system and not the Quality of the product or service.
ISO certification exercise involves developing a Quality Management system, training the employees, deploying the defined system, performing internal audits, conducting Management review and getting audited by external auditors i.e. certification bodies for award of certification. Earlier, these activities used to be performed manually and hence would take long time and effort apart from the cost involved in paying the Quality Management system consultants and the man hours spent by the employees. Nowadays, readymade Quality Management system software is available which automate most of the above mentioned activities hence deriving considerable time and cost advantage. These software packages bring a readymade Quality Management system to the organization and automate the workflows and QMS activities, thus ensuring compliance to the Quality Management system.
