compliance with ISO 9001 means your company is willing to sustain, be competitive, and importantly you want to grow the business. QMS sets your perspective on a long-term plan & objectives and reflects the quality of how you run the business - small or big.   It is a ground to invite more investors and financing to your business as well.

ISO 9001: 2008 Basic Assessment We will not be able to manage quality - this is the standard for use in any organization, regardless of size, product type (including service). They contain a few elements that help to get rid of them.

In brief, ISO 9001 is a Quality Management System that improves the business processes and enhance the monitoring systems of the business process and requirements, Hence its eliminates wastages, improves productivity, increase efficiency and optimal utilization of company resources.

Importance depends on the company goals and objectives. The certificate testifies the level of reliability and quality  of company, a minimum level that gives an opportunity to enter the market. It is external independent confirmation of achievement of requirements of standard. I'd say it is an important consideration for any company for it gives an opportunity to affect  not only the internal foundations but also the external market, making more competitive bids and providing qualitative result for potential clients and partners.

 

Regarding «why»:

- only under the direction of really high requirements and qualities it is possible to get an optimal result as excellent goods (for lower cost) and/or growing quality of the providing services.

- production becomes efficient and optimized.

- qualification of management (people) grows, which gives best control over quality of all production or/and provided services.
