Achiever Plus. What is it
and how will it help us?
The Step by Step Approach to Business
Improvement
Achiever Plus is a complete software and self-help solution,
designed to help companies of all types and sizes implement and maintain
an Integrated Management System. Whether you are trying to achieve ISO
9001, TS 16949, ISO 14001, OHSAS 18001
or just wanting to improve the way
your business performs, Achiever Plus provides the focal point
and all the tools you need.
Many companies
implementing a Management System to address a standard, set their sights
on compliance rather than
improving their business. These systems may satisfy the certification
body or registrar, but do not reflect the way the
organisation works, cannot realistically be applied to the day-to-day
business, and become a very expensive overhead.
Worse, they are viewed by ?users? of these systems as being time consuming,
annoying red tape, and efforts are
channelled into ways of avoiding the system rather than improving it.
The
proven low risk approach
Achiever Plus contains all
an organisation needs to design, implement and run an effective Management
System. As well as a proven and low risk approach to ISO 9001 and other
standards, it provides a solid foundation for business improvement by
correctly placing the emphasis on meaningful business processes, rather
than the vague clauses of a standard.
This makes the system itself meaningful and usable by everyone in the
organisation. It reduces the cost of operation and
provides an architecture for the implementation of other standards and
techniques.
Achiever Plus consists
of two main elements:
