ISO 9001:2015 - Guidance for small businesses
ISO 9001:2015 - Guidance for Small Enterprises , translating the ISO publication "ISO 9001:2015 for Small Enterprises - What to do?", provides SMEs with a guide to developing and implementing a QM system in their own business, tailored specifically to their needs.
Here is the blurb for ISO 9001:2015 - Guidance for small businesses: Not only small and medium-sized enterprises in Germany, but also in developing, emerging and industrialized countries as the main contributors to the economy there, can benefit from the International Standard ISO 9001:2015 for defining the requirements for quality management systems.
Certification brings advantages
The introduction of a QM system and the corresponding certification according to ISO 9001 2015 makes sense for every company - regardless of the size of the company. The decisive factor is the increasing importance for the customers of a company. More and more customers want or demand certification in order to learn more about the company and its structures.
With a QMS, the company shows itself to be transparent and ready to respond to this central customer request. Accordingly, an increasing number of customers choose their service providers based on whether they are certified. Therefore, if certification is missing, this can become a significant competitive disadvantage.
With the first guide translated into German, "ISO 9001:2015 - Guidance for small businesses", SMEs receive a guide specifically tailored to their needs for the development and implementation of a QM system in their own company. Based on the original text of the standard (highlighted in grey), the contents and requirements are explained section by section and illustrated by numerous concrete examples from many different industries.
