Episode 30 - S4 - ISO 9001 Implementation and Certification Part 2 - Certification

from The Quality Hub Hosted by Core Business Solutions

On this episode of the Quality Hub, chatting with ISO experts, host Xavier Francis is joined again by Suzanne Strausser, Vice President of Operations at Core Business Solutions, to continue their journey through ISO 9001 implementation and certification. Suzanne explains how organizations can determine whether their quality management system is ready for certification, including the importance of operating the system long enough to produce evidence, completing internal audits, and conducting meaningful management reviews. The conversation walks listeners through Stage 1 and Stage 2 certification audits, what auditors examine, how employees should prepare, and how organizations should respond when nonconformities are identified. Xavier and Suzanne also explain surveillance audits, recertification, and why certification should not be treated as the finish line, but as part of an ongoing effort to improve processes, business outcomes and more.
