What steps would be followed by companies (organisations) to get one of Iso certificates?

The ISO9001 certification validates a company's quality management system. ISO is the International Organization for Standardization. Certification is given to companies that are registered with ISO and have had an internal or external audit of their internal procedures. The ISO9001 certification is internationally recognized. ISO9001 is beneficial to companies in most industries. High-tech, engineering, manufacturing, law and finance companies can all benefit from having a standard, quality management system. Obtaining the certification validates a company's ability to properly serve its clients through a recognized quality management system.

  Implement the processes put forth in the ISO "Quality Management Systems Requirements" files. There should be processes for both internal employees' daily activities as well as for customer satisfaction. Management should be prepared for a lengthy transition process. It is important to not rush the process.

  ISO9001 will show managers how to implement processes that track employees' daily activities such as email, phone calls and database entry. For example, a recruiter in the human resources department will be required to enter a candidate's resume into a resume tracking database. This will create a candidate profile in the database where the recruiter can make an entry every time the candidate has had an email interaction or phone call with the recruiter. The recruiter also can track interview schedules, feedback from hiring managers and whether or not an offer was made to the candidate.

  ISO9001 quality management processes also will show managers how to implement a sales and client tracking system. This system can help companies increase and maintain high customer satisfaction. For example, a sales database will require a sales account manager to create a file within the database for each customer. The file will track every order, when it was processed and when it was received. The database also will track all communication between the sales account manager and the customer.

  Create an internal audit system to ensure all internal processes are being met. The internal audit can be conducted by an internal audit team, the organization's management, or it can be outsourced to consultants.

  The audit team will need to be provided with a detailed manual of all processes put in place by management through the ISO9001 system. Auditors should know managers' expectations and be able to recognize if those expectations have been met, or are on track to be met.

  File your audit results with ISO to obtain the official ISO9001:2008 certificate of conformity. This certificate can be used as a sales tool to let potential and existing customers know your company conforms to the international management standards put forth by ISO.

I think that getting ISO certified requires intense knowledge of subject, therefore I would suggest to hire services from a consultation firm.

Depending on the current situation of a company, it may take long to achieve this success.
