ISO 9001:2015 Approach
The revised ISO 9001:2015 standard is based on the following three approaches:
Process approach
PDCA Approach
Risk-based thinking
The old ISO 9001:2008 standard was based on the Process approach and PDCA
approach only.
The Risk-based thinking is the new approach that is added in revised ISO 9001:2015
standard to address the risk opportunities that could cause its processes and quality
management system to deviate from the planned results.
Risk basically is the effect of uncertainty on expected/desired results.
