Many organizations develop management systems with the intent of certifying the
system to one standard (i.e.
ISO
9001, QS9000, or
ISO
14001). However, time progresses and either the market demands additional certifications
or the organization sees the importance of not ignoring other national and international
standards.
Meeting the requirements of a second (or third or fourth, etc.) standard is not
always easy, particularly if the company did not use the Process Approach as described
by this website.
Your company has one management system. Avoid developing multiple, concurrent and
potentially conflicting systems. Understanding your business processes in the context
of a system and relating the system to any system standard will enable you to avoid
this pitfall.
While our class can be (and often is) customized for any transition project, here
are common examples of transition classes we provide:
-
ISO
9001 to
ISO
14001
-
ISO
9001 to
ISO/TS
16949,
ISO
13485, AS9100 and AS9110 and
ISO
17799/ISO
27001
- QS9000 to
ISO/TS
16949
-
ISO
14001 to
OHSAS
18002 or
ANSI
Z10
-
ISO
9001 to include
ISM
Code for maritime safety
-
HACCP
to
ISO
22000 for food safety
The additional requirements are the easy part. Understanding how to avoid waste,
minimize the impact upon the organization and develop a system valued by the organization
is the challenge. We welcome the challenge and always work with your existing system
and only remove what is not valued or used by the organization.
