Understanding ISO 9001:2015 Quality

Management System.
ISO 9001 is the international standard that specifies requirements for a
quality management system (QMS). Organizations use the standard to
demonstrate the ability to consistently provide products and services
that meet customer and regulatory requirements. It is the most popular
standard in the ISO 9000 series and the only standard in the series to
which organizations can certify. Successful businesses understand the
value of an effective Quality Management System that ensures the
organization is focused on meeting customer requirements and they are
satisfied with the products and services that they receive. ISO 9001 is the
world’s most recognized management system standard and is used by
over a million organizations across the world. .ISO 9001 was first
published in 1987 by the International Organization for Standardization
(ISO), an international agency composed of the national standards
bodies of more than 160 countries. The current version of ISO 9001 was
released in September 2015.  ISO 9001:2015 applies to any organization,
regardless of size or industry. More than one million organizations from
more than 160 countries have applied the ISO 9001 standard
requirements to their quality management systems.  Organizations of all
types and sizes find that using the ISO 9001 standard helps them
organize processes, improve the efficiency of processes, and continually
improve. You can integrate ISO 9001:2015 with other management
system standards such as ISO 14001:2015, ISO 45001:2018, ISO
27001:2013, etc. lIt bring quality and continual improvement into the
heart of the organization and increase the involvement of the leadership
team. It also introduces risk and opportunity into the management
system. It’s an agile business improvement tool that makes it relevant to
the requirements of your own organization to gain sustainable business
improvements. It brings quality management and continual
improvement into the heart of an organization. This gives an opportunity
for organizations to align their strategic direction with their quality
management system. The starting point of the new version of ISO 9001
is to identify internal and external parties who support the QMS. This
means that it can be used to help enhance and monitor the performance
of an organization. It will help you become a more consistent competitor
in the marketplace. It will also help you to meet present and identify
future customer needs. This increases efficiency that will save you time,
money, and resources. It  Improves operational performance that will cut
errors and improves profits. It will motivate, engage,  and involve staff
with more efficient internal processes. It will help you win more high-
value customers, and achieve improved customer retention with better
customer service. It will broaden business opportunities by
demonstrating compliance

All ISO management system standards are subject to a regular review

under the rules by which they are written. Following a substantial user
survey the committee decided that a review was appropriate and created
the following objectives to maintain its relevance in today’s marketplace:
 Integrate with other management systems
 Provide an integrated approach to organizational management
 Provide a consistent foundation for the next 10 years
 Reflect the increasingly complex environments in which
organizations’ operate
 Ensure the new standard reflects the needs of all potential user
groups
 Enhance an organization’s ability to satisfy its customers
The structure is based on the mandate that Annex SL from the ISO
Directives is applied to management system standards. The clause
structure in ISO 9001:2015 is being aligned with other management
system standards. The structure is to provide a presentation of
requirements. It is not a model for the document for documenting the
organization’s policies, objectives, and processes. There is no
requirement for the structure of an organization’s quality management
system documentation to mirror that of this International Standard.
