ISO 9001:2015-Quality Management System.

Most organizations face challenges when developing an ISO 9001 Certification quality management system. These challenges are potentially greater due to:

  • Availability of resources;
  • Costs involved in setting up and maintaining a quality management system;
  • Difficulty in understanding ISO 9001 Cand applying a quality management system, especially concepts such as organizational context, organizational knowledge, the process approach, and risk-based thinking.
What is ISO 9001 Certification – quality management system?

A quality management system (QMS) is the way an organization directs and controls its activities that are related to achieving its intended results.

Broadly, ISO 9001 Certificaiton consists of organization’s structure together with the planning, processes, resources, and documented information that is used to achieve quality objectives (such as for meeting customers’ and relevant interested parties requirements, to improve the quality management system, or to improve products and services).

Every organization will already have a management structure and on that basis, its quality management system is built. The organization might be fulfilling many of its requirements included in ISO 9001, but has simply not yet organized its activities into a formal quality management system.

Why to have ISO 9001 Certification?

The adoption of a QMS is a strategic decision that helps an organization to improve its overall performance and to provide a sound basis for its sustainable development initiatives.

Many organizations implement a formal quality management system after finding that their customers want assurance that the products and services they are looking to purchase or obtain will meet their requirements for quality. Those customers are looking for the confidence that can be provided by an organization offering products and services produced under an effective quality management system, such as one conforming to ISO 9001.

A quality management system, on its own, will not necessarily lead to an improvement of work processes or to improvements of products and services. It will not solve all industry problems. It is a means for organizations to take a more systematic approach to fulfil the organization’s objectives, which in turn should achieve such improvements.
