	MEQA CAN ISSUE A SECOND PARTY REGISTRATION CERTIFICATE
	Certification, whether accredited or not, is a matter of choice for an organization
	The value of certification is not to be underestimated, but for some organizations the certification route may be neither necessary nor financially viable. For these organizations, the answer could be to have their quality management system (QMS) audited by a second party such as MEQA Consulting Ltd. This certificate, although not internationally recognized, would satisfy any request for proof of a reliable QMS, adjudicated by a recognized and registered by a qualified, unbiased entity; such as MEQA with a long and active client list. Your organization would make the most of the benefits that the principles and implementations of ISO 9001:2000 can offer, but without the cost and constraints of a third-party certification.

HOW MEQA LOOKS AT YOUR BOTTOM LINE!

LET'S CONSIDER A VERY SIMPLE QUALITY PROBLEM THAT COULD BE APPLIED TO A MANUFACTURER (THE SAME IDEOLOGY CAN BE APPLIED TO A SERVICE ORGANIZATION).

10 PARTS ARE MANUFACTURED AT A COST OF $10.00 EACH. THIS COST WOULD INCLUDE WAGES, MATERIAL, BENEFITS, FACILITY MAINTENANCE, ETC.

ALL 10 PARTS ARE REJECTED AND HAVE TO BE REMADE.

IN ORDER FOR A COMPANY TO STAY IN BUSINESS IT MUST GENERATE AS A MINIMUM, THREE TIMES ITS COST OF LABOUR. THEREFORE A $15.00 AN HOUR EMPLOYEE MUST CREATE $45.00 AN HOUR FOR THE COMPANY.

THIS THEN MAKES OUR REJECTED PART CONSIDERABLY MORE EXPENSIVE TO EVALUATE.

1. $10.00 X 10 PARTS = $100.00 YOU HAVE ALREADY SPENT. ANOTHER $100.00 WILL GET YOU BACK TO ZERO. YOU SHOULD HAVE GENERATED AT LEAST $300.00 FOR THOSE PARTS; THUS THE 10 PARTS HAVE COST YOU $500.00.

A QUALITY PROGRAM WOULD PROBABLY HAVE PREVENTED THIS LOSS OF MONEY AND REPUTATION.
