Despite the 100% success rate of those companies that exercise the 40-day scheduling and planning, only 20% of clients are taking advantage of the option.<\/p>\n<p>Typical reasons for expanding the implementation beyond 40 days include client personnel scheduling, vacations, holidays, invoicing preferences, or a sense that somehow &#8220;Rapid&#8221; implementation will result in a lesser product.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The irony,&#8221; Oxebridge VP Operations Chris Paris says, &#8220;is that the same program is run whether a client utilizes the 40-day plan or not. We do the same work, we just wait for the client to let us proceed in between the various phases.&#8221; Oxebridge does not offer any ISO 9001 implementation program other than the Rapid ISO program, even if the client chooses to extend that program to 3 &#8211; 6 months.<\/p>\n<p>The average implementation time for ISO 9001 is about 3 to 4 months, as a result.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We strongly suggest clients take advantage of the 40-day schedule. this gives the company more time to have the certification in place, and reduces overhead impact. Not to mention, it&#8217;s just better to have the certification earlier than later, especially if the quality of the resulting program is unaffected by a 40-day implementation.<\/p>\n<p>Oxebridge&#8217;s Rapid ISO 9001 Implementation Program does not rely on templates or boilerplate documents, and all but five days of the work is done on-site at the client&#8217;s facilities. &#8220;Nothing is &#8216;mailed in&#8217;,&#8221; Paris emphasizes.<\/p>\n<p>Oxebridge offers a similar Rapid AS9100 Implementation Program, as well as Rapid programs for AS9110, AS9120, ISO 13485 and other standards.<\/p>\n<p>Rapid Upgrades, for example bringing an ISO 9001 system up to AS9100 or ISO 13485, typically run only 5 &#8211; 7 days, a tiny fraction of what traditional consultants offer. And upgrade of documentation from ISO 9001:2000 to ISO 9001:2008 takes 1\/2 day.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Speed of delivery of a quality program has been the cornerstone of our business since day one,&#8221; Paris says. &#8220;Contrary to popular belief, a high quality product can be delivered in record time without sacrificing quality or value.&#8221; Oxebridge contracts typically run 1\/2 to 1\/3 of those of competing consultancies.<\/p>\n<p>Regarding the myth that registrars would not accept a 40-day implementation, Paris corrects the record: &#8220;Some registrars indicate they want to see 90 days of records, but this is not a requirement and just a preference. To address this, we front-load the elements of ISO 9001 requiring the most records and build up significant evidence to satisfy the audit completely. Since 1999, not a single client has ever been denied an ISO 9001 certificate on the basis of the 90-day record myth, or on any basis whatsoever.&#8221; Oxebridge currently has over 200 clients that have undergone Rapid ISO or AS implementation, and all have passed their audit on the first attempt, using the registrar of their choice.<\/p>\n<p>For more on which programs are eligible for a 40-day Rapid implementation, see the menu of services at left.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Winter Haven FL &#8212; Since 1999, Oxebridge has offered a revolutionary &#8220;Rapid ISO 9001 Implementation Program&#8221; which promises to implement ISO 9001 and ready a client for third party audit within 40 work days, or about two months.
