Learn about ISO 9001:2015 and ISO 14001:2015 standards and why compliance with them helps companies improve their internacional performance as well as obtain a solid base for sustainable growth.

Everything you need to know about ISO 9001:2015 quality management systems

The ISO 9001:2015 standard is an international certificate that regulates Quality Management Systems (QMS) on a global scale. 

ISO (International Standards Organization) is a global federation of national organizations that generates standards through the work of international expert committees. The ISO 9001 version 2015 represents an update from the original ISO 9000-2000 standard, which was revised and adjusted in 2012 and took its final shape in ISO 9001:2015.

The goal of this standard is to specify the requirements to develop a successful Quality Management System in companies. 

As such, it allows companies to prove their products regularly meet client demands as well as legal and normative requirements. It’s also a tool for companies to explore new possibilities to satisfy client demands and improve their processes, as it generates a powerful analyzing instrument to observe the company’s systems from a holistic perspective.

The ISO 9001:2015 standard describes specific methods to examine a company’s processes. These methods are based on two key frames of reference:

• A process-oriented approach that incorporates the Plan-Do-Check-Act (PDCA) cycle. This perspective allows companies to allocate and manage resources in a wise and efficient manner, so that opportunities for improvement can be identified and applied.
• The inclusion of risk-based thinking. This approach to Quality Management Systems guides companies towards identifying potential risks in their activities and taking a preventive approach.

ISO 9001:2015 requirements

The ISO 9001:2015 standard is divided into ten sections, with section 4-10 outlining the requirements of the QMS. Some of the key requirements include:

• Establishing and maintaining a quality policy and objectives
• Conducting regular internal audits and management reviews
• Documenting and controlling processes and procedures
• Managing resources effectively, including personnel, infrastructure, and equipment
• Implementing corrective actions and continuously improving the QMS

By implementing an ISO 9001:2015 certified QMS, organizations can demonstrate their commitment to quality and increase customer confidence in their products and services. The certification process involves a third-party audit, which verifies that the organization’s QMS meets the requirements of the standard.

ISO 9001:2015 in the spare parts industry

In the aftermarket the choice of the right spare parts supplier remains a key strategic decision.

Compliance with the ISO 9001:2015 standard provides sound evidence that companies have done the work to: 

• Regularly supply clients with high-quality products and services 
• Move towards client-oriented models
• Tackle risks and opportunities consistently in order to improve their processes in a continuous manner

Differences between ISO 9001:2015 + ISO 14001:2015

Both of these ISO quality standards provide companies with tools to improve their performance and align with current market demands and needs. 

Additionally, both are based on the Plan-Do-Check-Act (PDCA) approach, which generates an efficient framework for applying improvements.

However, they address different topics. On the one hand, it’s important to note that the ISO 9001:2015 standard doesn’t include specific references to improving companies’ environmental management. 

As such, the ISO 14001:2015 standard works to complement 9001 ISO 2015: it provides a method for companies to achieve a balance between their economical goals and their environmental impact. In other words,  ISO 14001 is geared towards achieving sustainability. 

Regarding the spare parts industry in the automotive sector, the commitment in minimizing their environmental impact is growing, but still far from being widespread: only 42% of companies have made a carbon-neutral commitment, according to a report by PwC. 

In such a context, suppliers that comply with ISO 14001:2015 provide a competitive advantage to their clients, helping them move towards their own environmental goals.

Obtaining ISO 9001:2015 Certification

Becoming ISO 9001:2015 certified requires a systematic approach to quality management and a commitment to continuous improvement. Here are the steps you can take to obtain ISO 9001:2015 certification:

1. Conduct a Gap Analysis: A gap analysis is an assessment of your organization’s current quality management system against the requirements of ISO 9001:2015. This analysis will help you identify the areas that need improvement to meet the standard.
2. Develop an Implementation Plan: Once you have identified the gaps in your quality management system, you need to develop an implementation plan to address them. This plan should include a timeline, a budget, and the resources required to implement the necessary changes.
3. Train Your Staff: ISO 9001:2015 requires that all employees who impact the quality management system be trained on the standard. This training should cover the requirements of the standard, how they apply to the employee’s job, and the importance of their role in maintaining the system.
4. Implement the Changes: Once your implementation plan is in place and your staff has been trained, you can begin implementing the necessary changes to your quality management system.
5. Conduct an Internal Audit: Before applying for ISO 9001:2015 certification, you should conduct an internal audit of your quality management system. This audit will help you identify any remaining gaps and ensure that your system is compliant with the standard.
6. Apply for Certification: Once you have addressed any gaps identified during the internal audit, you can apply for ISO 9001:2015 certification. The certification process includes an external audit by a certification body to ensure that your quality management system meets the requirements of the standard.

By following these steps, your organization can obtain ISO 9001:2015 certification and demonstrate its commitment to quality management and continuous improvement.

HERE are our ISO Certificates

The importance of working with a company that complies with ISO 9001:2015

As we’ve mentioned above, companies that comply with the ISO 9001:2015 standard generate a solid foundation to consistently provide high-quality products that align with their clients’ expectations.

Being aware of this, at Dolz we’ve worked to make our in-house production of auto parts not only a pioneering and totally automated system, but also fully ISO certified, thus confirming our commitment to become global reliable spare parts suppliers.

Considering we receive less than a 0.05% of guarantee rate in terms of returns, our dedication for quality is clear. Additionally, we’ve also worked to comply with ISO 14001:2015, moving our production towards more sustainable terms.

In this post we explain the benefits of in-house production and what the injected casting process of our European plant based in Spain consists of.

Injected casting

Casting process involve the use of molten material, usually metal. The process in which molten metal is poured into molds is known as injection molding. At Dolz we have this process for the impellers and housing water pumps manufacturing process by aluminum injection.

Aluminum alloys are used in many applications in the automotive industry such as gearboxes, engines, or water pumps, among others. And this sector is, in general, responsible for more than a quarter of the aluminum that is produced worldwide.

Foundry-24 hour

Dolz plant has a 24-hour active casting phase that grants all internal manufacturing needs, with an actual output over 17.000 units per day. and up to 100,000 pieces per week.

It is in this phase where the aluminum is melted, which will later be injected into the moulds. This metal has a combination of properties that make it very useful in the Dolz production, its low density and its high corrosion-resistant make the performance and durability of the Dolz water pump optimal.

In addition to its lightness, the fact that it is an indefinitely recyclable material, maintaining all its quality, stands out.

Injection

Injection moulding is a very popular technique that gives us versatility, an easy and fast reaction and higher performance levels in the production.

In this process, it is where the molten metal is injected into closed molds under pressure and cold to obtain the raw casting (or water pump housing) and where they are also exposed to pressure testing for strength and leak tightness.

Benefits of in-house production

Hosting all production processes means great benefits both in production and in the final product. Among the main benefits of having the foundry process integrated in our own facilities, we find:

• Tighter tolerances.
• Reduction of production stages.
• High resistance and hardness.
• Excellent finishing characteristics.
• Quality control in detail.

Specific Surface Finishing processes

In order to achieve the best possible result, different specific finishing systems are used in our Dolz production plant, among which shot blasting and die-cutting

Shot blasting technique

One of the methods that is used in most of the metal industries is the shot blasting technique. The term “shot blasting” refers to the process of propelling abrasive media material with centrifugal or mechanical force.

A surface treatment technique by impact, designed to clean, polish and at the same time strengthen the surface of the metal, in this case aluminum.

It consists of the bombardment of abrasive particles at high speed that, when impacting on the coating of the piece, eliminates contaminants from the surface.

Thanks to its high precision and efficiency, it can achieve large productions and deburr many parts at the same time.

Die-cutting

Die-cutting is a mechanical process that is carried out by a tool called a die-cutter that comprises stand columns, a linear bearing, a female die, a male die, a material pushing plate and a cover plate, to cut the material with precision.

This process allows us to obtain excellent dimensional accuracy and surface finish. In addition to also reaching large productions of pieces.

Drilling technique

Another finishing process that allows obtaining an optimal surface is drilling. A fast and precise machining operation that is limited to making cylindrical holes of different diameters.

Using a drill and a bit, a cut is made in the piece by turning the bit. The drill removes chips from the material and makes the desired hole.
