WHAT IS ISO 9001? WHY DO BUSINESSES NEED ISO 9001 CERTIFICATION?
Nowadays, the concept of ISO 9001 has become familiar and widespread in society. However, if asked what ISO 9001 actually is, many people may still struggle to give a clear answer.
ISO 9001 is a Quality Management System (QMS) Standard issued by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO). It can be applied across all fields, industries, and organizations. ISO 9001 sets the standards for managing a quality system — it is not a certification for product quality. It serves as a foundational standard for other ISO management standards. Today, ISO 9001 is considered the most fundamental solution for enhancing an organization’s management capacity and is often a mandatory requirement when businesses select suppliers.
So, what benefits does ISO 9001 bring to businesses?
Creates a competitive advantage over your market rivals
Better quality management helps meet customer demands
Increased efficiency saves time, money, and resources
Improved operational performance reduces errors and boosts profit
Strengthens employee engagement and alignment with internal processes
Enhances customer service and attracts more potential clients
Expands business opportunities
Currently, the latest version of ISO 9001 is ISO 9001:2015, which includes significant changes to keep up with today’s global integration trends. To remain competitive in an increasingly international market, Vietnamese enterprises must adopt smart strategies and take timely actions to strengthen their position.
