HOW I WORK
Five steps, from diagnosis to audit
Diagnosis
I compare what your company does with what the standard requires.
System
Procedures, records and rules tailored to your company.
Training
Your team knows what is expected of them.
Internal audit
I check the system before the external audit.
External audit
I support you and help respond to findings.
The schedule adapts to each company. For an industrial SME, implementation takes around 8 weeks.
