Understanding the Existing System and Gap Analysis

We examine and outline your business key activities in relation to your clients’ requirements and identify weather they confirm to the standards.

We conduct a gap analysis to assess the differences in performance to determine whether business requirements are being met and, if not, what steps should be taken to ensure they are met successfully.

Gap refers to the space between "where we are" (the present state) and "where we want to be" (the target state).

Our ISO consultants will then agree reasonable outcomes and delivery dates with you.

Documentation and Workforce Training

After the initial assessment, we will help you to pull out a ISO manual relevant to the ISO standard that you are working towards. This manual sets out how your business should operate going forward so that it can improve the existing Management System.

Depending on your needs, Suvarna Consultants can develop and deliver tailored training programmes for your staff. Training ensures there is a full understanding and implementation of the required standards applied consistently across the organization so that certification is not a one event, but rather a process that transforms your business in the longer term.

Implementation of Documentation

After successful preparation of Documentation and Training, Implementation of the same is required.

Implementation allows your manual to grow organically over time, and the manual will reflect what you actually do – instead of copying directly from the standard. After a few months, you should be done writing all of your procedures, and your manual should be about 75% complete. The remaining sections of the manual can be filled in clause by clause.

Implementing the documentation is followed by an Internal Audit.

Internal Audit

An effective ISO management system requires ongoing review and updating. This is the role of the Internal Auditor.

Internal audits help organizations achieve corporate objectives by keeping a pulse on the consistency of internal business practices. The goal of an internal audit is to ensure organizational policies and procedures are followed and to alert management of gaps in policy compliance.

Internal Audit is followed by Management Review Meeting.

Management Review Meeting

A Management Review is a formal, structured meeting which involves top management which is a critical and required part of running an ISO certified Management System.

The purpose of a Management Review meeting is to review and evaluate the effectiveness of your Management System, helping you to determine its continued suitability and adequacy.

A Management Review ensures that all levels of management are made aware of any changes, updates, revisions, etc. to the day-to-day workings of the Management System itself.

External Audit and Certification

Your organization will be submitted to the third party certifying body that the ISO assessor believes is the most suitable for your company. Audit is an objective view on whether your business is conforming to the ISO standard – Suvarna Consultants will support and guide your business throughout the above steps and leading up to the audit so that your successful ISO certification is assured.

Once confirmed as being ISO standard compliant, your organization will then be presented with the ISO certificate.

You can then promote that you have gained international recognition to your target market.
