ISO 9001 Transition

The 2000 revision of ISO 9001 is issued in December 2000. In order to maintain the certification status, all certified organizations should pass the ISO 9001:2000 certification assessments within three years. Therefore, these organizations must prepare well.

On the other, the old revision of ISO 9001 adopted a "clause" model. Staff may need to refer many documents for conducting a single task. Therefore, we recommend that organizations should take this chance to review their established system. There are plenty of opportunities to streamline, simplify and reengineer their systems.

As a management consultancy that is providing total solution to our clients, Knowledge Workshop designs two transition packages to fulfill needs of different organizations.

Basic Plan

Basic Plan is suitable for those organizations that are certified within the previous three years and have strong internal supports for maintaining and monitoring the system. Therefore, Basic Plan includes all the necessary services at a competitive price.

Basic Plan includes:
Evaluation of the current system
ISO 9001:2000 Management Awareness Training
Assistance on re-drafting procedures
Redefine core processes
Re-draft quality manual
Pre-audit before certification
Assistance during the certification period

Diamond Plan

Diamond Plan is suitable for those organizations that are certified years ago. As the system is not modified significantly for years, there is a mismatch between the system, current needs and the international standard. Therefore, Diamond Plan provides a total solution and helps organizations to reengineer their systems.

Diamond Plan includes:
Evaluation of the current system and process performance
ISO 9001:2000 Management and All Staff Awareness Training
Redefine core processes
Process reengineering and simplification
Assistance on redefining quality policy and objectives
Coaching on determining customer satisfaction level
