What Is ISO 9001?
ISO 9001 is an internationally recognized quality management system standard. It provides a structured framework for consistently meeting customer and applicable requirements while improving organizational processes and customer satisfaction.
The standard can be applied by organizations of different sizes and sectors. Its requirements are implemented according to the organization’s products, services, processes, risks and operating environment.
An effective ISO 9001 system connects:
- Customer requirements
- Leadership responsibilities
- Business processes
- Risks and opportunities
- Employee competence
- Operational controls
- Supplier performance
- Quality objectives
- Performance measurement
- Corrective action
- Continual improvement
The objective is not to create additional paperwork. It is to establish clear and repeatable ways of working.
