Are yu ready fr the FUTURE f yur Quality Management system? BACKGROUND Quality Management System standard, ISO 9001 has made sme majr changes released in September 2015. Organizatins are studying and reviewing changes t the standard, planning a series f tactical changes with actinable time-lines t ensure implementatin f the standard is efficient and timely. Hwever, with the significance f 9001:2015 revisins, it becmes critical fr yu t knw where t start. ISO Cnsulting Services has designed sme training curse and material t unravel the mystery surrunding terminlgy used in the internatinally recgnised ISO 9001:2015 standard fr Quality Management Systems. It explains all the elements in these standards in a way that is easy t understand. It prvides the knwledge and skills required t develp a QMS capable f achieving custmer satisfactin, supprting business imprvement and helping manage business risk. ISO Cnsulting Services can assist yu in: Cnducting Gap Assessment r Gap Analysis; Reviewing the existing dcumentatin and systems and identifying any ptential gaps between existing and desired situatin Training yur team thrugh ur public r in-huse training curses Develping r upgrading dcumentatin accrding t new standards Reviewing and Simplifying Prcesses, dcuments and systems during upgrade Prviding training, Cnsultatin and guidance fr implementatin f system Cnducting Internal Audits Please cntact ur ffice fr mre infrmatin: Did yu knw?

ISO 9001:2015 Self-assessment Checklist Use this shrt checklist fr assessing Quality Management system t determine whether ISO 9001:2015 requirements are being met and, if nt, what steps shuld be taken t ensure they are met successfully. Cntext f the rganisatin This clause requires the rganizatin t cnsider a wide range f ptential factrs which can impact n the management system, in terms f its structure, scpe, implementatin and peratin. Des the rganisatin determine external and internal issues that are relevant t its purpse and its strategic directin and that affect its ability t achieve the intended result(s) f its quality management system? Des the rganisatin mnitr and review infrmatin abut these external and internal issues? Understanding the external cntext can be facilitated by cnsidering issues arising frm legal, technlgical, cmpetitive, market, cultural, scial and ecnmic envirnments, whether internatinal, natinal, reginal r lcal. Understanding the internal cntext can be facilitated by cnsidering issues related t values, culture, knwledge and perfrmance f the rganizatin. Des the rganisatin determine: a) the interested parties that are relevant t the quality management system? b) the requirements f these interested parties that are relevant t the quality management system? Des the rganisatin mnitr and review infrmatin abut these interested parties and their relevant requirements? Has the scpe f the QMS been determined taking int accunt the external and internal issues, interested parties and yur prducts and services?

Nte: Interested parties culd include; Emplyees Cntractrs Clients/Custmers Suppliers Regulatrs Sharehlders Neighbrs Nn-Gvernmental Organizatins (NGOs) Parent rganizatins Leadership This clause includes a gd prprtin f cntent which will be familiar frm ISO 9001:2008 but als intrduces sme significant changes n verall leadership and cmmitment and the expectatins fr tp management t engage mre fully with the critical aspects f the quality management system. Des tp management demnstrate leadership and cmmitment with respect t the quality management system by: www.isocnsultingservices.cm.au

NOTE: Reference t business in this Internatinal Standard can be interpreted bradly t mean thse activities that are cre t the purpses f the rganisatin s existence, whether the rganisatin is public, private, fr prfit r nt fr prfit. Des tp management demnstrate leadership and cmmitment with respect t custmer fcus? Has rgaqnisatin determined custmer requirements and applicable statutry and regulatry requirements? Are they met and cmmunicated thrughut the rganisatin? Have the risks and pprtunities that are relevant t the QMS been established? Has the rganisatin established and cmmunicated the respnsibilities and authrities fr the effective peratin f the QMS? Planning This clause is an additin t ISO 9001:2015, intrducing the cncept f risk and pprtunity. In basic terms, this clause requires the rganizatin t understand the range f risks and pprtunities relevant t the scpe f the rganizatin and determine actins, bjectives and plans t address them. des the rganisatin cnsider the issues referred t in 4.1 and the requirements referred t in 4.2 and determine the risks and pprtunities? Has the rganisatin planned actins t address these risks and pprtunities and integrated them int the system prcesses? Is there a defined prcess fr the determining the need fr changes t the QMS and managing their implementatin? Supprt An effective quality management system cannt be maintained r imprved withut adequate resurces. As a functin f planning, such resurces shuld be determined and prvided. This clause gathers tgether in ne place all the areas relating t the peple, place and prcedural aspects f the management systems. Has the rganisatin determined and prvided the resurces needed fr the establishment, implementatin, maintenance and cntinual imprvement f the QMS (including peple, envirnmental and infrastructure requirements)? www.isocnsultingservices.cm.au
If mnitring r measuring is used fr evidence f cnfrmity f prducts and services t specified requirements, has the rganisatin determined the resurces needed t ensure valid and reliable mnitring and measuring f results? Has the rganisatin determined the knwledge necessary fr the peratin f its prcesses and achievement f cnfrmity f prducts and services and implemented a lessns learnt prcess?
