Description

The Gap Analysis & Implementation Plan is ideal for small and medium sized organizations worldwide seeking faster and smoother ISO 9001 certification by jump-starting the implementation with a no-nonsense, effective and actionable implementation plan.

This professional consulting service, in combination with our Do-It-Yourself Certification Toolkit, creates a hybrid implementation approach that gets you over the initial hurdle, kick-starts the implementation, and sets you up for success.

Our consultant will not only issue a comprehensive action plan but also work directly with your ISO 9001 implementation manager / team, and inform top management of the scope of implementation.

Depending on your company size, this service takes only 1 to 3 days to complete.

What's to Gain?

You will get a feasible and comprehensive roadmap to ISO 9001 certification based on our analysis of your company's processes. Our report also includes the tasks and activities that need to be completed, and the documentation required.

How Does It Work?

Our consultants get you started with your in-house ISO 9001 implementation using our Certification Toolkit (purchased separately). You just choose to have us conduct the service remotely or on-site. Either way, we'll typically proceed as follows:

Gap Analysis
We'll first gain an understanding of your company's activities and controls, and identify where your company is and isn't meeting ISO 9001 requirements. As part of the analysis, our consultant will inspect business processes, review documentation, and interview management and employees.

Consulting
Next we'll impart a solid understanding of how best to apply ISO 9001 in your company. After the gap analysis, our consultant will discuss options and offer solutions where processes do not currently exist. This session will focus on the best use of your 9001Simplified documentation and how best to apply it as the solution system.

Presentation
Finally, we'll describe the documentation structure that's needed for your company, and explain the tasks and activities that need to be completed in order to set up your ISO system. There will be a final presentation in which our consultant describes what gaps were found in your company and what steps need to be taken to get certified. Senior management are encouraged to attend. Note that some time is required to prepare for the presentation.

Reports and Plans
You will receive a detailed report containing a review of the gaps, plus a detailed project plan – your roadmap to ISO 9001 certification. Note that some time is required to prepare the report.

Staff responsible for the implementation are expected to work with our consultant and join all activities.

Prerequisites

You need to have our ISO 9001 Certification Toolkit before using this service.

Staff responsible for ISO 9001 implementation will need to have familiarized themselves with the Certification Toolkit and the ISO 9001:2015 standard (which they should have on hand) as preparation for the consulting session.

Schedule

When?

The best timing for consultancy services is... anytime you need professional assistance. Remote consultancy can be scheduled as early as 1 week from the date of purchase. For on-site consulting we need at least 3 weeks advance notice.

How?

Just enter your preferred starting date at the time of purchase and we'll contact you to confirm it or to agree on another mutually convenient schedule. In the unlikely event that we can't agree on a date, we'll promptly issue a full refund.

There will also be some communication prior to the consultancy to discuss your needs and help our consulting team to prepare. Preparation instructions and any additional materials will be sent in advance.

Your Roadmap to Success

After carefully analyzing your company's processes and activities, our consultant will give you a project plan detailing everything your company needs to do to implement ISO 9001 and get certified.
