A Step Ahead, the medical industries ISO certification can help you outpace regulations and win more orders.

By Richard Powell, president and CEO, GMI Inc. (Download Article)

For the past 15 years, our company has provided new and remanufactured medical lab equipment to the biotech and pharmaceutical industries. "Whether a customer buys new or remanufactured products, our focus has always been to deliver a high quality product. As regulations within our customers' industries tighten, we wanted to assure them not only of the quality of our product but also of the quality in our process.

When we went searching for a quality management system, ISO was a natural fit for us because we sell to 40 countries across the globe. ISO is recognized the world over as the "gold standard" when it comes to quality assurance. And though it is not a requirement for doing business, more and more customers in medical-related industries are searching specifically for suppliers that have it.

We jumped into ISO with both feet in the fall of 2009 and involved our entire staff from management to production. In short, ISO requires close examination of each existing process within a company, tweaks to help those processes meet ISO requirements, and written procedures for individual processes as the company sees fit. The written procedures standardize key processes and help customers understand how a company ensures product quality.

GMI recently featured in Medical Dealer Magazine, in an article titled "Go with a Specialist/ Learn About Your Vendor" The article reads....

... Richard Powell is the founder of GMI, Inc. of Minneapolis, Minn., which specializes in clinical diagnostics and life sciences research equipment. He says the first step in narrowing your vendor list is finding companies that specialize in the equipment you want. Vendors that offer a diverse inventory may run the risk of failing to adequately service or support every product equally adequately.

"I don't think you would want to buy heart and lung equipment from a company that's supposed to specialize in radiology gear," he says. Our competitive advantage is that we're only in the laboratory industry. If we're going to sell it to you, we've got the manuals, the parts, someone to train you, someone to set it up, and someone to answer calls in-house."...
