ISO 9001:2015, Quality management systems – Requirements
Quality is a goal of every business. We want quality people to support our customers, quality processes to ensure we fulfill our customer requirements, quality products and services to justify why we are even in business. The ability to meet quality objectives requires structure at all levels of the product or service delivery cycles. Customers more now than ever, are requesting or requiring companies to ensure a quality management system exists. The best way to ensure the effort to create a QMS is sustainable, is to certify to ISO 9001. This standard helps organizations be more efficient and improve customer satisfaction.
ISO 9001 is focused on the standardization of service processes that affects a customer. This can be internal to the organization and/or focused on customer deliverables. In most cases, it is a combination of both. Implementation of a QMS for services is just as common as for product. Core to any QMS is identification of those supporting processes such as IT infrastructure, supplier management, governance of outsourced processes and change management.
ISO 9001 affords an organization the ability to manage the interaction of information and risk across all departments. A QMS is continually seeking ways to improve an outcome.
