There is no guarantee to secure survival when the going gets tough. However a documented management system and the correct philosophy does go a long way to helping companies survive.
For many reasons for example:
Improves communication
Creates a level playing field both within the organisation and for the customer/ supply chain.
Helps company management to focus on core processes and management procedures as a toolset for continual improvement
Only by continually looking to improve will a company make itself fit enough to survive, but not just survive a company also needs to grow.
ISO 9001 provide a stable framework from which to develop.
The only way forward is to establish effective management systems.
