Utilizing ISO 9002 and IIP to maximize quality and profitability
Abstract
Considers the Investors in People programme and the quality standard ISO 9002 and suggests that many companies approach these standards in an exclusive manner, seeking accreditation to one or the other; few companies consider the merits of concurrently running accreditation programmes to both. Discusses the advantages to be gained from both and gives advice on implementing programmes which will conform to the standards’ requirements. Concludes that combination of the two standards leads to a company gaining the best of both worlds; by developing individuals within the operation so that they may contribute fully to the success of the business, and by setting the appropriate standards to follow, in order to provide the customer with a consistently high quality product.
