The Pillar Management Associates Jump Start© Program
The Jump Start© Program is a practical business approach to establishing an ISO 9001 (Quality Management System), ISO 14001 (Environmental Management System), 50001 (Energy Management System), ISO 45001 (Occupational Health and Safety Management System), AS9100 (Aerospace) and IATF 16949 (Automotive).
The program follows a proven step-by-step managed process that creates a fully documented system in three to four months. This approach can be implemented at a nominal cost with a minimal use of internal resources. Typical internal resources requirements are 20 to 40 company employee days, including the time required to train several internal auditors.
At the end of the program, the organization will have a completely documented Management System ready for a registration/certification audit by a third-party Certification Body.
