Success with ISO certification

Organisations that achieve ISO certification enjoy proven benefits such as an increased return on investment (ROI), increased client base and cost savings as a result of improved efficiencies. To read about the experiences of some of our valued clients, see the testimonials below.

For an informal discussion on how ISO standards can benefit your business, contact IMSM today to arrange a no obligation meeting with your local IMSM area manager.

The Water Sewer Authority of Carabbus County

The Water Sewer Authority of Carabbus County keeps Carabbus county safe by being the primary planning agent for water and sewer facilities. Just under 30 years ago, the towns and cities of the county of Carabbus set up WSACC to operate and maintain a regional interceptor sewer system and wastewater treatment plant.  Throughout, it has been an independent, incorporated, public body funded by user fees with no taxing authority supporting five jurisdictions in North Carolina. So, when they approached IMSM about implementing ISO 14001 and 45001, it was no surprise that they were also looking to ensure their staff’s safety and their impact on the planet due to their community mindset.

Beverly Metcalf, the Environmental, Health & Safety Compliance Manager, recalls why IMSM were their go-to for ISO guidance, “The main benefit for WSACC was the number of days for the audits were significantly reduced. The staff were very flexible in scheduling the audit, and the reports were received in a timely manner.”

Vaughan Industries

Vaughan Industries designs and produces electronic components, based in Cornwall, manufacturing for the UK, Chinese as well as global markets. In the past 3 years, Vaughan Industries has doubled its workforce and capability and trebled the size of its premises. Vaughan Industries became ISO 9001 certified as a result of demand from a major Chinese customer and used IMSM’s services to acquire the ISO certifications. “IMSM were extremely helpful, our IMSM consultant was brilliant. There are a lot of peculiarities in our particular industry, and our IMSM consultant had plenty of ideas to help us work out how best to adapt the procedures. Rather than just telling us what to do like a Sergeant Major, our consultant established a strong relationship with us from the beginning, working with us closely to propose the best ideas and suggesting the best possible improvements. They were there when we needed them, but they never got in the way.”

Dr. Mark Vaughan, Managing Director, Vaughan Industries

Custom Computer Cables

Custom Computer Cables of America (CCCoA), headquartered in Garland, Texas, is a leading manufacturer of custom fiber optic and copper cable wire harnesses delivering to clients around the world. CCCoA became certified in 2010 and believe the ISO will act as a prominent vehicle to drive their business forward in 2011. “IMSM became a tactical team member in the planning and execution of becoming certified. Upon meeting with IMSM, who explained everything thoroughly, ISO certification went very well and we hit our due date of when we wanted to be certified. We already had a lot of systems in motion, so once IMSM helped us to realise exactly what needed to be done, it only took 6 weeks.”

Mr. Jay Chenault, President & CEO, Custom Computer Cables

Anderson Dahlen

Anderson Dahlen are contract manufacturers, specialising in the machining, welding, fabricating and assembly of stainless steel.  80% of their business is related to the food processing industry, providing stainless steel equipment.  It took Anderson Dahlen 8 months to become certified. “Our IMSM Assessor put in a lot of time and effort; they did a really good job for us, helping to organise what we had here.  We had a lot of the pieces in place, they just weren’t put together, which IMSM helped us to do.  We have a system in place now and we continually follow up on everything. “The locality of the IMSM Area Manager was a real plus for us.  To have someone local to us who we could ask questions, get answers and go back and forth easily was a big factor for us. “The process went well, IMSM did a great job working with us, we really appreciate how IMSM helped us to organise the company.  IMSM made it a whole lot easier for us by pointing us in the right directions.  As far as the program goes, I think it has been a great success for Anderson Dahlen, by keeping us on track, improving the quality and being able to work with larger customers.”

Mr. Steve Head, Business Improvement Director, Anderson Dahlen

Toyota Forklift

“With the decision to take our company to the next level in Quality and Environmental Management made, we sourced IMSM to help us with the mammoth task of getting this done from our Durban office and then to three major branches in South Africa. Each branch holds its own certification, but the “mothership” is in Durban. What a pleasure it has been to work with their consultants and assessors. Invaluable advise and input was given, which made the whole process smooth and without problems. With certification done and dusted, it is with no surprise that we will not think of any other service provider to take us through the transition phase for the new standards. “

Toyota Forklift, Elize Koster - Regional Sheq Officer/National ISO Coordinator

Acorn Industrial Services

“I was surprised at just how smoothly everything went. IMSM’s Assessor first visited us in early September. By early November, we had received the certificate.”

Clive Simkins, Business Development Manager, Acorn Industrial Services

Mantis Cranes

After gaining ISO 9001 and BS OHSAS 18001 with IMSM, Mantis Cranes contacted us for help securing ISO 14001 certification. Already, the standard is proving its worth when approaching new customers. Based in County Durham, Mantis Cranes is the UK’s number one self-erecting crane supplier. The company supplies crane solutions for construction projects throughout the country. So it’s essential for Mantis Cranes to show it takes quality, safety and environmental standards seriously. “IMSM had been instrumental in gaining our two standards – so they were the natural choice for helping us become ISO 14001 certified. They were helpful throughout the whole process. Not only were they easy to work with, they were flexible too and always willing to fit round our schedule. Following a pre-assessment, IMSM’s assessor conducted a comprehensive audit.”

Philip Brown, Mantis Cranes
