THE LONG TERM BENEFITS OF ISO 9001
"We chose ISO 9001 because it specifically targets design
control. It gives discipline to production routine and I am convinced
it has resulted in a higher level of quality assurance." Mr.
Churcher, Director of Codegate Ltd.
Specialising in automatic identification of goods, data capture
and management systems, Codegate Ltd. are based in Wokingham, Berkshire
and achieved ISO 9001 certification in 2000. The core of their business
is the barcode and increasingly radio tags, magnetic strips and
smart cards, products that are integral parts of modern life.
Codegate Ltd delivers bespoke solutions to the UK, in addition
to developing software for own brand products and OEMs on a global
basis. Key ares of their business include Education products, Mobile
computering as well as Printing and Encoding.
In many sectors ISO 9001 is becoming something of an industry standard
and Mr. Churcher responded to increasing customer demand when deciding
to adopt the standard.
"ISO 9001 demonstrates to customers our level of commitment
to quality but we are aware that some standards do tend to be a
fashionable thing. So one looks for the long-term benefits it can
bring to internal procedures and this is why we adopted ISO 9001."
And as for the IMSM service Mr. Churcher was, "Very happy.
Everything went incredibly smoothly and we found the process very
helpful".
