Implementing ISO 9001 without any help

Answer:

ISO 9001 can be implemented without any external help but this approach (although the least expensive) will take a lot time since the persons in charge of the implementation will have to understand the requirements of the standard and find a way to implemented them. Also, you cannot be sure that you implemented all requirements of the standard before the certification audit and that is the most inconvenient moment to find out that you have far too many nonconformities to get the certificate.

However, there are other options for the implementation that do not include hiring a consultant for entire project but just gaining the know how when you need it. For more information, see: Look at your options
