KNOW ABOUT THE QUALITY MANAGEMENT PRINCIPLES OF ISO 9001

The quality of products and services are ensured by an ISO 9001 certification. It is the only certification that can be applied to any type and scale of industries. It enlists a clear set of standards for maintaining a Quality Management System (QMS) in an organization. As the largest economy of the world, USA has numerous organizations mushrooming every year. With such immense competition, it becomes very difficult for an organization to set a distinctive identity. Almost every organization in almost all major cities of USA, such as New York, Chicago, San Francisco, Los Angeles, Boston, Houston, etc., is now applying for ISO 9001 certification to guarantee their customers about the quality of their products.  

The latest version of ISO 9001 was updated in 2015, and therefore it is called as ISO 9001:2015. It has some major differences from the earlier version, ISO 9001: 2015.

Let us understand some important Features of ISO 9001:

  1. Customer Focus: It ensures that the requirements of customers have been taken care of. This will help in attracting and retaining the customer base.
  2. Leadership: This requires the top management to take the responsibility as well as communicate the workforce regarding the set objectives for effective QMS.
  3. People engagement: This involves making the employees at all levels, aware about the requirements of the QMS, and engaging them in delivering the products that meet the standards.
  4. Process approach: This includes the management strategy of Plan-Do-Act-Check, to ensure that the processes are managed and controlled in order to achieve the objectives.
  5. Improvement: To maintain the quality of products and services, it is important that the organization keeps on improving its system and processes. This also makes the organization resilient to any unexpected emergencies.
  6. Evidence-based decision making: This involves monitoring and measurement of the QMS. Here, analysis of the current system is done in order to set objectives for meeting the requirements of the standard.
  7. Relationship Management: Relationship management with interested parties like suppliers and contractors is very important to achieve the quality objectives and sustaining it.

Thus, as per ISO 9001, the quality can be assured by determining the objective for organization for achieving standard quality, analyze feedback from the customers to understand their requirements, and constant evaluation of the business processes for improvements.
