6.5 Planning of Changes
The change management process identified in the ISO 9001:2015 requirements can be as simple
as a seven-step process, as follows:
 Identify the need for change: Identify the purpose of the change and potential consequences:
The purpose is to reduce the processing time and improve customer satisfaction, but one
negative consequence could be higher prices (a risk that needs to be addressed). Plans can
be made to hire employees, find and approve suppliers, and put the process in place.
 Ensure IMS integrity: The plan needs to ensure that you do not have problems elsewhere in the
IMS due to this change.
 Assign resources: Identify the resources required to put the plan into effect, and assign those
resources.
 Identify and communicate changed responsibilities: With new employees, a need may arise for
the management of those employees.
 Carry out the plan: Put the plan into place using the resources identified.
 Ensure effectiveness of the implementation: Before considering the plan to be complete, it is
important to ensure that everything has been covered by checking that there are no problems
now present that need to be addressed
Where changes to the IMS are required, management will consider:
 the purpose of the change(s),
 the effect(s) on the IMS
 the availability of resources to affect the changes and the integrity of the IMS.
Changes will also include improvements to the organizational internal administration procedures to
enhance order tracking from start to finish, purchases of materials and/or services, which will be
controlled, and the ability to answer customer queries. All such changes to the management
system are made through the ongoing checking (monitoring, measuring, and analysis) and review
of the work processes to identify potential areas of realistic and achievable improvement and the
necessary actions required to make such changes.
