Manufacturing organizations implement ISO standards to improve quality, reduce waste, enhance safety, and optimize operations. ISO 9001 is the foundation, often complemented by ISO 14001 for environmental management and ISO 45001 for safety.

Many manufacturers also implement industry-specific standards depending on their sector, such as IATF 16949 for automotive or ISO 13485 for medical devices.
