The answer is to deliver more than your share of customer value.			“The remarkable success of our ISO 9001 and 14001 EMS registration is due to the superb organization and training that Walter Tighe, President of Sustaining Edge Solutions provided to us…we highly recommend his services to any organization – large or small – that is seeking comprehensive consultative support for implementing an effective operational and environmental management system.” Olaf Koester, President/CEO SOLON Corporation
Standard Operating Procedures   April 2013. No matter what type of business you are in, Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) are critical for establishing and for maintaining standardized work.  A recent survey conducted by Pathwise, showed that up to 25% of respondents have no SOP for writing procedures. An important question to ask yourself is “Are you dedicating enough resources to your SOPs?”			“Our ISO 13485 Medical Devices Management System has improved our manufacturing processes, increased our customer base, and company profits.
