Add experienced capacity

Add experienced QMS support without a full‑time systems specialist.

Ongoing support for manufacturers implementing, maintaining, or improving an ISO 9001 quality management system.

The problem it solves

Turn an unclear QMS need into a defined piece of work.

Internal teams may understand their operations but lack consistent capacity to coordinate audits, corrective action, document control, calibration, suppliers, objectives, training, and management review.

Best fit

Designed for a specific stage of implementation or maintenance.

Small manufacturers that need a proposal‑defined support cadence rather than a full‑time quality systems role.

Typical scope

  • QMS priorities and action tracking
  • Document and record control support
  • Internal audit program support
  • CAPA and root cause follow‑up
  • Calibration, supplier, training, and objective tracking
  • Management review and continual improvement support

Potential deliverables

A proposal‑defined support cadence and agreed QMS outputs. Priorities, availability, and deliverables are set for each engagement.

Delivery approachRemote support is available. Cadence, response expectations, onsite boundaries, and availability are confirmed in the proposal.

What the customer provides

  • A designated internal point of contact
  • Access to relevant QMS information and personnel
  • Timely decisions and operational input
  • Clear priorities for the engagement

Not included unless expressly scoped

  • Full‑time or unlimited availability
  • Guaranteed onsite coverage
  • Certification or certification body services
  • The official ISO standard
  • A guaranteed certification outcome

Important boundary

Sentinel supports implementation and readiness — not certification decisions.

Sentinel is independent, is not ISO, a registrar, or a certification body, and does not issue or guarantee certification. Customers should obtain an authorized copy of the applicable official ISO standard.
