Fast Track Program ISO Standards Consulting

The Fast Track Program

From its inception , the Fast Track® program was intended to resolve all the concerns an organization might have in implementing a quality or environmental management system (QMS or EMS). Upon careful analysis of our research data, we concluded that four key program features were of prime importance to our customers: convenience, ownership, speed and value. We created the Fast Track using these four concepts as our guiding principles.

Convenience Would you be interested in a service that can take you from a quality concept to a functional QMS or EMS while minimizing business disruption? How about one that provides custom documentation writing? And don't forget training. The point is that the Fast Track is the most complete implementation program available today . All phases of the implementation process are conveniently packaged in one simple solution.

Ownership In addition to its convenience, the Fast Track also establishes clear ownership of each process. We do not believe that convenience means a lack of participation on your part. Instead, knowing how valuable your staff's time is , we go to great lengths to use it wisely. Our unique meeting facilitation methodology ensures total comprehension of each process by both owner and users. Hence, each process owner becomes an ISO expert in his/her area of responsibility. Because we strongly believe that ownership plays a crucial role in the sustainability of a QMS or EMS, we have structured the Fast Track to support this concept.

Speed Since many of our clients have a customer-driven registration deadline, the need for quick project turnaround is quite common. That's why we designed the Fast Track program for completion within six months. However, because the client ultimately determines project scheduling needs, we are prepared to scale our resources to fit any timeframe. A project's schedule will, of course, be determined by such factors as management commitment, number of employees, other concurrent projects or the number of sites involved. In any event, operational logistics will likely play an important role in setting the timetable. So even if speed is not your most important criterion, it's comforting to know that the capability is there.

Value The classic definition of value is getting a fair return of goods, services, etc. for something exchanged. We believe that our Fast Track not only meets this definition, but surpasses it. We think that value-added is a more accurate description, and after reviewing the following features we're sure you'll agree.
