Quality management systems have been around for many years now, but you might ask yourself, why set out to comply with a written standard, and why be certified? There are often discussions on this topic and whether it realizes benefits or is just a badge. The truth is that it is like anything else, you get out what you put in.
You could write a QMS, you could document it and keep it on the shelf and roll it out once a year to show a less-than-robust auditor and get an ISO9001 certificate. Indeed, there are non-IAF-accredited certification bodies out there that will write the QMS for you, then rubber stamp it. The result is you have no change in what you do or how you do it, so no benefits in efficiency, cost reduction, OTD, and critically, culture and leadership. Frankly, pointless. You know it, and your customers (if they understand the accreditation system) also know it.
