The implementation of quality management system (QMS) standards is one way in which a company can improve their performance by reducing non-conformance issues. 9001:2015 is the latest version of international standards published by ISO, and it was developed in such a way as to allow ISO implementation with the company’s current QMS. In the latest edition of ISO, ‘risk-based thinking’ is a major focus in order to help companies maintain product and service conformance.
With ISO, companies can develop the right processes and procedures to grow export sales and thus boost their position in the global market. Because global competition requires in-depth knowledge of the latest trends in products and services, it is essential for companies to have a highly skilled and knowledgeable workforce. The Yves Landry AIME Global grant can help innovative manufacturers in southern Ontario to train their employees on the implementation of a quality management software system. AIME Global can provide up to $50 thousand of non-repayable funding to southern-Ontario manufacturers to assist with such projects. Funding must be secured prior to project implementation, so if you are planning on investing in or upgrading your QMS, it is strongly recommended that you commence looking into AIME Global now.
