How an ISO 9001 Certification Upgrades the Quality of your Business (Demo)

For most business owners, constant improvement and upgrades are essential to success. Apart from gaining an advantage over their competitors, it also helps their companies achieve continuous growth. There are many ways by which businesses can evolve, one of which is through earning certification. Recently, Accurate Perforating and Accurate Metal Fabricating, two major custom fabrication firms, announced that their facilities in Chicago, IL received the prestigious ISO 9001 certification in February this year. The Chicago Tribune reports:

“The International Organization for Standardization (ISO)’s recognized management standard confirms that Accurate’s perforating and metal fabricating facilities have established a quality management system that is in conformance with the International Quality System Standard for the processing of perforated metal and precision fabricated sheet metal.”

What started as a small machine shop has now emerged to become a full-service custom fabrication facility, certified to meet its customers’ requirements and needs. In an ever-changing market, maintaining and constantly revolutionizing standards are essential to attaining the desired results. The achievement of obtaining the coveted ISO certification 9001, according to Accurate Companies president Aaron Kamins, “demonstrates Accurate Perforating’s and Accurate Metal Fabricating’s commitment to uphold the highest quality standards.” Furthermore, he stated that “this achievement reflects and recognizes our employees’ commitment and hard work to manufacture only to the highest quality and performance.” As a result, more of the company’s clients can rest assured that they are receiving optimal value for their money. Companies that are able to advertise their quality certification are more attractive to potential customers who are seeking to hire services or buy products that are worth their hard-earned money. Consumers have become wiser in their spending and thus have become more vigilant and particular in terms of their suppliers. One of the best ways to keep up with this trend is by applying for certification through bodies like the International Standard Authority, Inc. (ISA). Certification bodies such as the ISA help simplify the certification process for the Quality Management Systems (QMS) and aid businesses in identifying areas for improvement prior to the assessment date. They also offer a no obligation quotation to business owners who are interested in applying for ISO certification.
