View of a corporate certification according to DIN EN ISO 9001

Today many companies grow together to complex companies depending on commercial compulsions in their branch caused by take-over or participation under a holding. On the other hand a big but unflexible enterprise will be divided up in several small strategic independent units. Using a corporate certification for these single companies by a common quality management system there will be a commercial advantage as well as an effect of synergy for all companies included. A common (quality) management system effects a better comparability of all involved companies not only in financial view, it will also take care of a transparency in process development and optimisation added with the advantage for marketing and common products. The classic quality management today is more than managing and organising processes to improve the warranty and to increase the quality of products, it also covers a consequent development of internal and external processes. It includes customers and staffs satisfaction, measuring and evaluation of processes as well as corrective and preventive actions.
