Why ISO Other Certifications Matter In
Manufacturing Industries
When manufacturing any type of product, overall
quality and customer satisfaction are extremely
important. This is especially critical for
complex products like vehicles. Quality assurance
can be further complicated when components and
assemblies for the end product are manufactured
at different plants around the world. This
practice is common for molded plastic parts that
make up the vehicles interior such as
air-conditioning vents and cell phone trays.

Why ISO Other Certifications Matter In
Manufacturing Industries
Because these items are highly visible and used
daily by the customer, robust designs and proper
fabrication are absolutely essential. ISO and
other standards challenge manufacturers to
continually measure, evaluate, and improve
systems that ensure overall product quality and
reliability. As a result, manufacturers are
challenged to verify that all products fit
together properly and function flawlessly each
and every time.

What is ISO?
ISO, or the International Organization for
Standardization, is a non-governmental body
consisting of over 160 countries. They are
responsible for developing standards for various
industries which promote quality, safety, and
efficiency.

What is ISO?
While no company is compelled to adhere to ISO
standards, selecting a supplier who is ISO
registered ensures that your supplier is managing
their business to consistent standards that drive
waste and costs down and drive product and
delivery quality up.

Benefits of ISO 9001 in Manufacturing

• ISO 9001 helps inspire companies to find more
  effective ways to permanently resolve quality and
  other cost-related problems while encouraging
  businesses to find creative ways to exceed
  customer-specified requirements. This standard
  helps businesses identify, document, and improve
  systems that address both written and implied
  customer requirements such as
• Safety standards
• Environmentally-friendly manufacturing
• Expected production efficiencies
• Dimensional and functional specifications

ISO is an international body and as a result,
its standards help ensure that products
manufactured in different companies and/or
countries manage their businesses in a way that
promotes collaboration. This improves both
national and international trade, while reducing
costs to all parties. Since ISO standards
mandate continuous improvement, ISO 9001
registered businesses tend to reduce overall
errors which, in turn, eliminates waste.
Companies that embrace ISO standards as part of
their culture generally enjoy higher customer
satisfaction, fewer errors, reduced costs, and a
competitive edge.

ISO and the Consumer
While ISO 9001 certification is an important
consideration when choosing a supplier, the
end-consumer ultimately enjoys the benefits!
Automotive assemblies such as air-conditioning
vents are at eye level and are functioned often
by the customer.

In addition, components such as cup holders and
cell phone trays are seen and touched by the
customer multiple times every day. Consumers
expect and deserve these products to be perfectly
molded with the highest quality materials.
Consumers also assume these products will provide
beauty and function properly for the life of the
vehicle. Producing products to ISO and
customer-specified standards helps ensure that
the end user will remain satisfied over long
periods of time.

ISO and other certifications also help keep costs
down for the end-user. Manufacturing errors
increase costs across the board, which ultimately
gets passed on to the consumer. Low-quality
products that break and need to be repaired or
replaced decrease the overall value while
increasing maintenance costs. When standards are
met, customer satisfaction improves.

With ISO and other certifications the suppliers,
the manufacturers, and the end-users can know
that the resulting products are high-quality,
conform to all specified standards, and present
the greatest opportunity for long-term customer
satisfaction.
