Overview
Business Assessment Service (BAS) are very conscious of their clients'
need to make money and not to spend it. BAS also know that proving you have a
quality management system that meets the requirements of ISO 9001 etc. cannot
be done free of charge. That is why we have developed a cost-effective formula
which will enable you to demonstrate the excellence of your quality management
system. It is one of the most cost-effective assessment services in the UK yet
retains the high level of management standards one would expect of an
assessment body working on behalf of accredited organisations..
The Benefits of Third Party Assessment
A significantly understated aspect of third-party assessment is the benefits it can bring. The marketing advantage is most usually the one which is appreciated first. If you can demonstrate via a third party that you have a competent management system for quality, then your customers will have greater confidence when placing orders. Other benefits are numerous. The disciplines imposed by the standard will cause your business to be run in a methodical and predetermined manner. It is, of course, of major importance that you say what is appropriate for your business and define what actions you think you should be doing.
Provided that you have defined your management activities in accordance with the relevant standard, have done it, and can demonstrate it with appropriate records, then our audit reports will confirm your status. Moreover, our analyses will provide further feedback on your management systems including strengths, weaknesses, and threats, based upon the principles underpinning the standards. This feedback provides useful and sometimes significant data which your organisation can utilise as a baseline for its growth programmes.
We Make it Simple
During recent years there have been many horror stories associated with assessment to ISO 9001 and similar standards. We have actively sought out these experiences to ensure that all the pitfalls will be avoided. BAS, in developing their approach to auditing and assessments, do not prescribe what you must or must not do. However, we have developed a few guidelines which we feel will help you demonstrate, in a simple manner, the control you have of your management system.

It is our policy to provide assessment that is independent, and answerable only to the Board of Governors of BAS and our clients whether accredited third-party certification bodies or second party organisations. Our mission is to provide auditing and assessment services regarding management and systems, personnel, and products.
