Last week we revisited used car sellers Imperial Car Supermarkets, whom we helped to achieve ISO 9001 certification back in January 2016. The purpose of this visit was to assist the Imperial team with an ISO 9001 surveillance audit - their first since obtaining ISO 9001 accreditation last year - and we are happy to report that our client came through the audit with zero non-conformances raised.
Back at the beginning of last year, NPT Management Systems helped Imperial Car Supermarkets to plan and implement an effective QMS (Quality Management System), then apply for ISO 9001 certification via a UKAS-accredited body. However, we didn't fall out of touch with them over the intervening period - throughout 2016, we helped Imperial Car Supermarkets with:
- Conducting internal audits
- Providing internal auditor training
- Chairing management review meetings
Last week's surveillance audit was just the latest success in our working relationship with ICS, and we believe there are many more successes still to come.
If you require any assistance with your quality management system and/or the ISO 9001 certification process, please don't hesitate to contact NPT Management Systems today.
Some time ago, we helped Anchor Systems (International) Ltd to overhaul their QMS (Quality Management System) and get the new, streamlined system certified to the ISO 9001 standard. Today, we are proud to announce that Anchor have successfully transitioned to ISO 9001:2015 with zero non-conformances raised.
Anchor Systems are based in West Sussex, where they supply ground anchoring systems for all sorts of different works and applications. The Anchor team are dedicated to providing a quality service, and they were determined to attain the latest ISO 9001 standard in order to demonstrate that dedication to both existing and potential customers. NPT Management Systems helped them to achieve this by providing an expert consultation service that focused on bringing Anchor's QMS in line with the latest ISO standards as quickly as possible and with minimal disruption to the company's operations.
Here's what Anchor's Operations Director Hadley Smith had to say after his company's transition had been confirmed:
"We were very impressed when we worked with NPT Management Systems the first time around, and so we knew that Neil Peattie was the man to call when we decided to transition to ISO 9001:2015. As expected, he made the process go very smoothly, and we are very happy with the outcome: a successful transition with zero non-conformances.
"NPT Management Systems have proven that they are consistently capable of getting the job done to the very highest standard, and I would be more than happy to recommend them."
ISO 9001:2015 is the current version of the internationally-recognised ISO 9001 standard for quality management systems worldwide. If you would like to implement a compliant QMS that gets results for your business and complies with all ISO 9001:2015 requirements, please get in touch with NPT Management Systems today.
ISO 9001:2015 is the latest revision of the ISO 9001 standards. These standards are designed to assist any organisation - no matter the type or size - to administer and operate an effective quality management system. ISO 9001 focuses on the principles, goals and objectives that drive every business, to ensure that your operation is designed to meet customer requirements and expectations. The latest update takes in to account the latest trends and changes, whilst at the same time ensuring the compatibility with ISO 14001 and other modern management systems. To put it simply, ISO 9001:2015 will herald a new generation of quality management standards.
What Does This Mean For My Business?
ISO 9001-certififed businesses will have three years to migrate their quality management system and meet the new standards. Upgrading to the new standards will help you function alongside other management systems, reducing risks and ensuring that your business is more efficient.
If you're looking to migrate your existing management system, NPT are here to help! We can help migrate your existing system and get you certified to ISO 9001:2015 standards as quick as possible, to ensure that your business is running as efficient as possible. For assistance or if you're looking more information on ISO 9001:2015, give us a call on 02380 659 867 or email enquiries@nptmanagementsystems.co.uk - we'd be happy to assist you.
It is with great pleasure that we announce that NEKK Europe Ltd have transitioned to ISO 9001:2015. But that's not all - not only did they make the transition successfully, they did so with zero non-conformances being raised.
NEKK Europe Ltd is the sister company of NEKK Industrial Group, who are based in Chelyabinsk, Russia and have over 500 employees. Due to the strict regulations surrounding the supply of their high-quality copper (II) sulphate, it is essential to NEKK that they keep their QMS (Quality Management System) to a high standard and retain their ISO 9001 certification.
When NEKK Europe Ltd needed to transition their existing ISO 9001:2008 certified QMS to ISO 9001:2015, they wanted to minimise the amount of resources required to complete the transition while still realising all the benefits that come with ISO 9001:2015 certification. To help them achieve this, they chose to work with NPT Management Systems.
Anna Colman, NEKK Europe's Chief Executive Officer, has stated that she has absolute trust in our Principal Consultant Neil Peattie and his knowledge of ISO 9001, and that his ability to apply the standard in a simple manner in a rather complex industry is exceptional. NEKK Europe now plan to continue to use NPT Management Systems to help support and develop their QMS over the coming years.
Furthermore, we can also proudly announce that the highly experienced auditor from the UKAS-accredited certification body that conducted the transition audit stated that this was the most seamless audit they had ever conducted!
If you would like to transition to ISO 9001:2015 with ease, NPT Management Systems can help. Call today on 02380 659 867 or email enquiries@nptmanagementsystems.co.uk.
