ISO 9001 and Lean

"I am busy with a property valuation of an industrial building that adheres to the ISO 9001 standards. The company is in an immaculate condition with the best clean workshop area I have ever seen. I would like to know why some companies need to adhere to such an immaculate workplace and where I can get a copy of the overview of internal finishes fittings and features?”

Answer:

ISO 9001 does not require an immaculate workplace per se. Normally, companies with an immaculate workplace have customer requirements or process requirements about workplace environment very demanding. For example, I worked for a printed circuit board company that had to keep some areas very clean to avoid dust that would contaminate copper circuits generating shorts circuits.
Companies with those requirements, usually follow programs based on Japanese techniques like Lean.
