PDCABusiness systems

Effective and efficient business management demands structured systems and disciplined working practices. This is best achieved through the development and application of systems based on internationally recognised standards. We work with clients to implement individual or integrated systems to: ISO 9001, ISO 14001 and OHSAS 18001.

Stretton Associates has broad experience in the design, implementation and audit of such systems, having worked with over 70 clients, from small local companies to large private and public organisations. We don't use standard 'quality tools' or offer you 'off-the-shelf' solutions, rather our approach is one of guiding you to develop your own, bespoke systems that meet the unique demands of your own business. This demands a considerable commitment from you but results in a system that delivers a practical, usable system that adds real value to your business.

Our approach is to keep the process simple, first analysing your business processes before structuring and developing appropriate disciplines and documented systems to provide the controls that will improve your company’s efficiency and market profile.

Whether your requirements are to improve your current systems, to help prepare for audit or to help you achieve a quality standard from scratch, we can help you. Our first consultation comes free, so contact us using this link today.
