ISO 9001 Certification

  Cost Reduction Program

As we performed certification audits and provided consultant services over the past 25 years we observed the costs for ISO 9001 certification rising.

The major sized companies easily absorbed these costs. Unfortunately for the companies under 150 employees, they have had to choose between keeping their certification and struggling financially or discontinue and be at risk of losing customers.

Continuous Process Improvement Systems, LLC (CPISys) was formed by Vicki (Victoria) Delaney and Jim Goodrich to provide a program that minimizes the cost impact as well as resource utilization for small electro-mechanical manufacturing firms.

Our ISO Cost Reduction Program includes:
*  Liaison with the lowest cost accredited registrar in the US (see Certification Services below).*  Outsourced management of your Quality Management System so that your employees have    the time to do what they do best (see Outsourced Quality Management System below).

 

CERTIFICATION SERVICES:  In February 2008 the Accreditation Bodies under the IAF were given permission to perform remote audits as long as the Advanced Surveillance and Recertification Procedures (ASRP) procedure was followed.

If you have less than 150 employees, and are ISO 9001, ISO 13485, or ISO 14001-  and your ISO Registrar does not provide remote audits- then you are paying too much!

The cost savings are considerable.

  • No onsite auditors, unless the records produced the perform the remote audit indicate a problem, and no auditor travel costs.
  • No work time lost facilitating or preparing for onsite audits, which can be multiple days of lost production.

How does this work? 

  • Once a year you send a copy of your internal audits, management review, performance/objective performance, customer complaints and corrective action file.
  • Certified auditors review the documents, write a report, and schedule the next internal audit.

The cost?

  • Initial or transfer audit – $500 document review and $975 annual audit fee
  • Surveillance audits – $975 annually

What you get.  An ISO certificate from an accredited certification body for the specific standard you are certified to.
