Regardless of whether or not you've achieved ISO certification in the past, hiring an experienced quality consultant can have real benefits for your business. Read on to find out more, or contact NPT Management Systems now to discuss your requirements with Principal Consultant Neil Peattie.

If you've never hired a quality consultant before...

If you're new to the world of quality management and ISO certification, it's well worth hiring a professional consultant to guide you through the process and ensure that everything goes smoothly. A good consultant will:

  • Get to know your business rather than recommending an off-the-shelf solution
  • Help you to implement your QMS (Quality Management System) throughout the entire company
  • Assist with applying for ISO certification from a UKAS-accredited body
  • Ensure that your QMS is efficient and future-proof

If you're already ISO certified...

Even if your business has already achieved ISO certification, there may well be a room for improvement. Bringing in a consultant to review your current quality management system can help you to:

  • Save money by reducing the costs of compliance and certification going forward
  • Add additional standards such as ISO 14001 and ISO 27001
  • Assess the quality of any consultancy services you have received previously
  • Reduce waste within your management system

If you would like NPT Management Systems to help with your company's quality management processes, please give us a call on 02380 659 867 today.

UK Coat of Arms

Recent changes to consumer rights legislation may have costly consequences for UK businesses. According to the Consumer Rights Act 2015, customers can now reject goods without allowing the supplier any time to fix or improve them. This is known as the consumer's right to reject.

What does the right to reject mean for businesses?

For some businesses, the right to reject could become a very costly problem. The new legislation means that, if you fail to deliver the specified goods promptly and to a satisfactory standard, your customer/client may choose to reject the goods completely; if this happens, you won't have an opportunity to fix the problem, and you won't be able to collect payment for the goods supplied.

However, the right to reject should have no impact on your business if you are committed to quality and customer satisfaction. The best way to ensure consistent high quality within your organisation is to implement a quality management system (QMS) that's specifically tailored to your business and its processes. Implementing a strong QMS and achieving ISO 9001 certification will not only minimise the risk of rejection, it will also help you to win more business in the first place, encouraging potential clients to have confidence in your company and the products you supply.

NPT Management Systems can help you to design and implement a winning QMS that really works for your business. Contact us to discuss your requirements, or click here to learn more about the ISO 9001 standard.
