Understanding what it is like to be on the receiving end of the assessment process and believing that the traditional approach did not meet the needs of businesses, QIE has developed a unique package of benefits for companies seeking registration to ISO 9001:2000, ISO 14001, OHSAS 18001, HACCAP, SA 8000, Supply Chain Management, QS 9000.

Friendly and down-to-earth - QIE's consultants are trained to work with the quality representative from the company and to be approachable; establishing that the quality system works for the benefit of the company and checking it as though they were customers of the firm. Emphasis is firmly placed on practicality and common sense. 
 
A rapid response - Whether it be an inquiry about ISO 9001:2000 certification, or an urgent need to achieve registration itself, QIE specializes in providing answers or assessments quickly. Friendly help and expert knowledge are always available at the end of a telephone. 
Keeping it clear and simple. There has been a tendency for implementation systems to be presented as complicated, elaborate, and understandable only by 'experts’. This, not surprisingly, is apt to result in poor or confused communication, half-hearted implementation, and waste of time and money. As Albert Einstein said, "intelligence consists of making the complex seem simple".

So, we present each client with a logical, easy-to-understand plan, written in plain, everyday English, and based firmly on the real-life situation in their enterprise.
The result is that everyone can see both the personal and enterprise-wide picture, can grasp the benefits involved, and can commit themselves enthusiastically to putting the enhanced systems in place.

Time after time, we have demonstrated that - using the right approach and the most effective management systems - the road to accreditation can be simple, fast-track, hassle-free and economical, and will deliver significant benefits in bottom-line profitability and competitive advantage.

Small Businesses - Though QIE has provided its services to a good number of large scale organizations so far it's roots lie in providing a service, which is affordable for small to medium-sized businesses,. However, the company's pricing structure and its philosophy of being approachable on any quality matter has resulted in organizations of all sizes choosing to work with QIE.

Tailoring the solution to you - At QIE, we regard it as vital that the solution fits your organisation - not the other way round. So every solution we propose is based on a careful audit of your unique enterprise - its 'culture', goals, customers, problems, and of course budget. Consequently, each project is tailored to give you the precise level of help you need.

And where, for instance, you already have some systems that are working satisfactory, they can easily be built-in to the overall solution.

The use of Industry Experts- When selecting staff for a particular assessment, QIE will always choose an expert from the industry being assessed. This ensures that the assessment process takes place in an air of mutual understanding, eliminating conflict arising from a lack of knowledge of the challenges faced in running that particular business.
