Hi guys,
I have a few customers that have now ceased quoting me simply because we are not ISO accredited. We're a small shop, a little over a dozen employees, doing mostly welded fabrication. We already have loose systems for some things like material certifications, inspection records, maintenance logs, etc... but we have no written quality system. I'd like to start down the path to 9001, but a big fear is of getting a consultant in who is more adept at spending our money than getting us set up with a system that works. As a small shop, I am very much worried that doing it wrong could bury us in unnecessary paperwork and fees in the coming years. I'm interested in any thoughts on approaching this the right way, or perhaps recommendations of reputable consultants in the Northeast who could help us. Thanks!
