ISO 9001 Quality Management Consulting
We perform a thorough gap analysis of your current processes and develop a tailored Quality Management System (QMS), guiding you through implementation and certification audits. Our structured approach embeds risk-based thinking and continual improvement to consistently meet customer requirements and elevate operational performance.
Our consulting services include:
We assess your current processes against ISO 9001 requirements, identify gaps,
and create a clear, actionable roadmap for certification. You’ll know exactly
what needs to be done, by when, and what resources are required.
Develop lean, practical process maps and procedures that your team will actually
use. No excessive documentation—just clear, efficient processes aligned with
ISO 9001 standards and your business objectives.
Embed risk-based thinking throughout your QMS, identifying potential issues before
they become problems. This proactive approach is central to ISO 9001:2015 and
drives better decision-making across your organization.
Train your team to conduct effective internal audits, ensuring ongoing compliance
and continuous improvement. I provide hands-on guidance so your auditors gain
practical skills, not just theoretical knowledge.
Establish effective management review processes that drive genuine improvement.
I help you set meaningful KPIs, analyze performance data, and implement corrective
actions that enhance your QMS over time.
Before your certification audit, we conduct a comprehensive readiness assessment—
essentially a mock audit. This ensures you’re fully prepared, confident, and
likely to pass on the first attempt.
As a certified ISO 9001 Lead Auditor, I understand exactly what certification
bodies look for during audits. This insider knowledge ensures your QMS is
audit-ready from day one.
With hands-on experience in automotive, semiconductor, medical devices, and
laser optics, I understand the unique challenges of your industry and tailor
ISO 9001 implementation accordingly.
No bureaucratic overkill. My approach focuses on creating streamlined systems
that improve efficiency and quality—not just check compliance boxes. Your QMS
will be a tool for success, not a burden.
Market Benefits:
Benefits include improved efficiency, increased customer satisfaction, enhanced reputation, better decision-making, and access to new markets.
ISO 9001 is structured according to the High-Level Structure (HLS), which includes sections on context of the organization, leadership, planning, support, operation, performance evaluation, and improvement.
The timeline for certification varies, typically taking between 6 months to a year depending on the organization’s size, complexity, and existing processes.
Not necessarily. Many SMEs work with an external QMR like Sternberg Consulting, providing expert guidance at a fraction of full-time staff costs while building internal capability.
Yes! ISO 9001 integrates seamlessly with ISO 14001, ISO 45001, and ISO 13485 thanks to the High-Level Structure. Implementing multiple standards together saves time and reduces duplication.
