ISO 9001In this episode of The Engineering Quality Control podcast, we talk to Wayne Martin, P.E., about his experience working for large firms with ISO 9001 Certification, what it is, and why it is important. He also talks about how he started his firm during the pandemic and how he continues to benefit from risks he took early in his career.

Engineering Quotes:

ISO 9001

ISO 9001

Here Are Some of the Questions We Ask Wayne:

  • What is ISO 9001 and why is it important?
  • How do firms implement and enforce these ISO 9001 standards differently?
  • How have your focus and efforts evolved now that you own a company?
  • It has almost been a year now, but how have your quality control measures evolved?
  • What advice do you have for our listeners who are thinking of starting a career like yours?

Here Are Some Key Points Discussed in This Episode About the ISO 9001 Certification:

  • ISO 9001 is a check-and-balance process of quality control. One person does the work and another person checks and balances the work that was done. Following the ISO 9001 process will eliminate many of the miscellaneous errors and omissions before submitting your product to your client.
  • To be ISO 9001 certified, you must take part in an annual process that is audited by ISO. There must be certain documents and measures in place to illustrate that you are meeting the minimum intent of ISO 9001. Companies can make their own processes as long as they meet the minimum intent of ISO 9001.
  • As a company owner, you must hold your reputation in high regard because it is a reflection of your work and interactions with your clients. Let your processes and integrity uphold your duty as a licensed professional engineer. It does not matter who works on a project. In the end, it is your signature and the company’s name on that project, and that is all that matters from that point on.
  • We are in the business of people, and you must understand the people you are working with. Have a process for integrating new staff members into how you do things and your ultimate expectations from them.
  • All engineers design in their unique ways, but it still gets you to the ultimate design intent. Anyone must be able to pick up your drawings and be able to understand fluently what you were thinking and how they can achieve that goal. A design must be like reading a book. Everyone who reads it can understand the entire book because it is narrated to your understanding, and that is how your designs should be.

More Details in This Episode…

In the Power of Experience segment, Wayne talks about never being afraid to try something new and taking risks.
