ISO 9001:2015
In the dynamic world of bubble tea and dry goods, quality management is paramount to success. At Taipec, we understand the importance of delivering excellence to our customers. This commitment has led us on a path towards achieving ISO 9001:2015 certification, a globally recognised standard for quality management.
Overview of ISO 9001:2015 Standard
This is a comprehensive standard set by the International Organisation for Standardisation (ISO) designed to help organisations enhance performance, meet customer expectations and showcase a dedication to quality. ISO 9001 covers a wide range of industries including manufacturing, services, government, non-profit organisations and more. It outlines the requirements for establishing, implementing, maintaining and continually improving a quality management system.
ISO 9001:2015 plays a pivotal role in elevating the standards of quality management within organisations. By adhering to its requirements, companies can use it as a business improvement tool to streamline their operations and improve customer satisfaction.
Getting the ISO 9001:2015 accreditation can assist your business in establishing a Quality Management System (QMS) which is essentially a clearly defined business process. This involves documentation that clarifies a company’s commitment to pre-defined standards, ensuring that they achieve high standards and continuously plan to improve.
Relevance of ISO 9001:2015 in the Food & Beverage Industry
In the food and beverage industry, where quality and safety are of utmost importance, the ISO 9001:2015 standard has a profound impact on businesses operating in this sector, ensuring the implementation of internal processes that lead to safe and high-quality products. The recognition and credibility associated with ISO 9001:2015 certification further enhance the reputation of companies in the eyes of consumers and stakeholders. It also allows employees to focus on their performance as they know what is expected of them and improves communication between different parts of the organisation.
The ISO 9001:2015 requirements include ten clauses with a list of 18 mandatory documents. This appears to be a lot of effort put into the certification, which goes to show how this standard is held highly and is something that differentiates companies. There is a fixed cost of getting the certification, of which you will have to obtain a quote which will be different depending on company size, sector and number of locations.
Taipec's Path to ISO 9001:2015 Certification
The process of getting the ISO 9001:2015 accreditation involves ISO 9001 auditors performing a gap analysis of current processes compared to their standards. They follow a Plan-Do-Check-Act methodology which lays out a process-focused approach by creating a clear plan for what the business needs to do to achieve the standard.
Our journey towards ISO 9001:2015 certification involved a comprehensive process of assessment, implementation and improvement to meet the standards set by ISO. The changes and improvements we implemented not only align with the requirements of the standard but also reflect our dedication to delivering exceptional products.
The Need for ISO 9001:2015 in Bubble Tea Companies
ISO certification is a strategic advantage that sets bubble tea businesses apart. Having an ISO certification brings about many benefits to bubble tea companies including customer confidence, improved productivity, effective solutions for customer complaints and continuous improvement in quality management systems.
The reason ISO 9001:2015 is one of the most popular and widely used is that they are internationally recognised and has a reputation for receiving high returns on investment, as evidenced by the findings of the American Society for Quality.
Impacts of ISO 9001:2015 on Bubble Tea Quality Assurance
ISO 9001:2015 significantly improves quality assurance in the bubble tea industry. By implementing this standard, companies can guarantee the consistency and safety of their products. ISO certification also benefits consumers, assuring them of the highest quality and safety standards from certified companies.
