9. Advantages of ISO Certification
▸Executive management exposure
Audits have a way of percolating to the highest levels of
the organization. This enables systemic problems that may be
concealed to be brought out to the appropriate levels of a company.
Of course, this is a double-edged sword as attention may be
unnecessary, but it is nonetheless an advantage for executive
management to be involved in their quality system.

10. Advantages of ISO Certification (Cont.)
▸Third party assessment
The biggest advantage of certification is the perspective of a third party
assessment. The third party audit ensures that the quality management is
properly calibrated against the rest of the industry.
▸Common
These certifications is also the most common type of certification. This
makes it easier to implement new systems, hire personnel, and
understand changes.

11. Disadvantages of ISO Certification
▸Does not guarantee better quality
Certification definitely does not automatically lead to better quality
product. While it does encourage operations to think in terms of
systems, it does not require them to be good. This is definitely a
problem with newer certified companies and those with purchased
quality systems.
▸Focus on certification
For anyone that has worked with certified companies, this is
definitely a truth. Certification becomes a target, an end point, a
stop on the road to quality. In reality, continuously improving the
systems would lead to better quality, but for certified companies,
all too often the focus is on the next audit.
