After getting the project authorization and formal go-ahead from the accounts department, the consultant for that specific project is assigned by GM Operations after careful examination of the work scope. Once the consultant is assigned, they visit the client facility and conduct interviews with key management and staff to ascertain the current practices of the company. This helps in determining areas where the company already complies with the standard and identifying the work that needs to be completed. The notes taken from Phase 1 become the basis for the next phase.

Qdot Consultant prepares management system documentation based on the results of the Phase 1 interviews and data capture. The resulting documentation is fully customized, based on the company's current practices, and only introduces new or modified practices where the company either does not meet a requirement at all or where current practice deviates from a requirement. Boilerplate documents are not used, and client staff is not assigned any writing duties. However, assistance & cooperation from the client's staff is expected during the extraction of the required information.

Qdot Consultant returns on-site and provides guidance in implementing the management systems, trains employees and internal auditors, and conducts the first round of required internal audits. We facilitate a management review, including a review of the process objectives. At the end of Phase 3, your company is ready for third-party certification auditing.

Qdot Consultant will attend the audit and provide on-site assistance and facilitation of the audit, ensuring a smooth and effective audit by the Certification Body. We ensure that the Certification Body auditor does not deviate from international accreditation rules or impose non-existent requirements.
