Free calculator - Duration of ISO 9001 implementation
This calculator will help you estimate the time needed for your ISO 9001 implementation.

Please note that this estimate is calculated on the basis of normal implementation workload – that is, the implementation is done at a pace that doesn't require employees to work long hours of overtime. This kind of project could be done faster than this estimate shows, but it means that some other projects would have to be neglected, and that stress for the implementation team would be much higher.
