What are the disadvantages in ISO 9001?
As with anything worthwhile, there is some ongoing effort required to maintain ISO 9000 so that it returns real value to your organization. It is possible to implement ISO only to satisfy the auditors and to “check the certification box”. But, in many cases only an extra half-step of effort is required to make the certification really pay for itself with increased quality and efficiency. Certainly there are some resources needed to maintain the processes you implement. However, most companies feel this cost is offset by the business benefits realized in terms of more efficient processes.
