Our unique method can get you ready for ISO certification in as quick as with no compromises’ 9001- Quality Management
ISO 9001:2015 Requirements
To implement the ISO 9001 standard, you need to first understand the requirements that are underlined by the standard. The requirements are put out in seven sections, known as ‘clauses’.
1.Organizational Context:
This clause needs the organizations to determine the purpose, objectives, strategic direction, and scope of their QMS. To determine them, they need to consider both external agents and internal factors of their business that have an influence on the quality aspect. Therefore, you need to know about the processes that directly impact the quality, needs, and wants of the customers and the interests of your business’s stakeholders.
2. Leadership:
The standard clearly laid out is the commitment and role of the leaders/senior management in establishing the QMS in this clause. The senior managers should be fully responsible for creating the QMS and making it effective in its purpose. They should create the structure and functionalities of the QMS depending on the scope, set definite quality policies, and determine the attainable objectives. Leadership is extremely important because the leaders are the only persons who can communicate the objectives, policies, importance of QMS, etc. to everyone in the organization and make them work together towards the same goal. The senior management team’s involvement is also required to conduct annual reviews.
3. Planning:
In this clause regarding planning, it is stated that the QMS must operate based on risk-based thinking, which means it must put measures to identify the potential risks and assess their severity and frequency of occurrence. Risk identification is necessary to prevent any undesirable impact on the processes or quality of the final products. Besides the risks, the opportunities which lead to further improvements in the QMS also must be investigated.
4. Resource Support:
This clause mentions the need for adequate resources to make the implementation and operation of the QMS. Some of the key resources that are specifically mentioned are infrastructure and efficient work environment, technology support, training, and skilled human resources.
5. Operation:
This is an important clause that states the processes or works that an organization’s employees must undertake to effectively operate the QMS and deliver good-quality products or services. The key processes will determine the customer requirements and quality expectations of the customers, documents to be created and recorded, resources needed by the employees, and monitoring and testing methods to ensure quality.
6. Evaluation of Performance:
This clause emphasizes analyzing the performance of the processes put forth by the QMS periodically and assuring their conformity with ISO 9001 requirements. Your organization must ensure that every aspect of the QMS is in line with the standard’s requirements. This clause hence supports the improvement of your quality management approach, making the way to deliver better quality products or services every time.
7. Continual Improvement:
The final clause puts specific stress on the continuous improvement of your QMS as well as the processes of your business. It states that there should be specific measures in practice to ensure improved services or products from time to time to match the evolving needs of customers. It also means your organization should identify the processes that are under performing and make modifications to them to increase their efficiency.
