The ISO Management Series of Standards
The ISO-based series of management standards define the requirements for the most widely accepted model for management systems and quality assurance in the world. In fact, 400 of the United States' 500 largest public corporations (The Fortune 500) have operations registered to one or more ISO-based management systems standards.
ISO boasts over one and a half million ISO 9001 certifications issued in over 170 countries and economies according to ISO's latest Survey of Certifications 2013. With the number of registrations flat lining here in the United States for the last several years they suddenly soared last year when an increase of 8,692 certificates was recorded — the largest since 1999 when an increase of 8,067 was recorded.
Based upon the seven quality management principles (see survey results / read the article) ISO 9001 Quality management systems - Requirements includes requirements for a process approach
ü to ensure that customer requirements and statutory and regulatory requirements that apply to its products are determined and met
ü to establish policies and measurable objectives
ü to monitor and measure the effectiveness of its processes
ü to achieve continual improvement of the effectiveness of its management systems in fulfilling customer requirements, enhancing customer satisfaction and achieving objectives.
The most effective ISO-based management system implementations are found where top management has transformed its vision and strategy statements into an integrated set of objectives and measures that describe their organization's long term drivers of success; and, has recognized the value these systems have in protecting their good name and/or brand image.
