Why Outsource your QMS
Why Small and Medium Businesses Should Outsource their Quality Management
Small and medium sized businesses when required to implement ISO Quality Management Systems do not get a good cost to benefit ratio as large companies. Until 2015 the ISO standards required a management representative who was part of the management team. Once the management system was stable the benefit to cost ratio to maintain the QMS was not attractive. As a management representative is not a requirement since 2015, small and medium sized businesses can scale their investment in quality management according to their requirements by outsourcing the process. Instead of a full time management representative, a dedicated consultant is assigned to assume the following tasks:
- Conducting ISO internal audits and compliance audits.
- Completing management reviews and monitoring KPIs..
- Identifying new legislation and updating legal registers.
- Managing annual ISO certification audits.
