Developing and implementing ISO 9001:2015 QMS – 06 – Obtaining Information about QMS and ISO 9000 Family
=========
The
steering committee should collect information about quality management system
and ISO 9000 family. If a consultant is there to assist the organization, then
it is easier for the organization, as the consultant will be able to provide
all such information. For information on quality management system, ISO’s
website is a useful source of information from which following brochures /
literature may be downloaded:
-
ISO 9001
– Debunking the myths – It is an informative brochure to ISO 9001 that
clarifies some of the misconceptions around implementation and use
-
ISO
9001:2015 – How to use it – This brochure provides useful information to get
started with ISO 9001
-
ISO 9001
– What does it mean in the supply chain? – This literature is a useful guide to
ISO 9001 for those people involved in selection of suppliers, helping them get
the most out of the standard as a supply chain tool.
In 2016, International
Organization for Standardization (ISO) has published a handbook “ISO 9001:2015
for Small Enterprises – What to do?” for SMEs wishing to implement a quality
management system based on ISO 9001:2015. It is a priced publication. This
handbook provides small and medium enterprises (SMEs) with guidance on developing
and implementing an effective quality management system based on ISO 9001:2015
– Quality management systems – Requirements. The handbook focuses on how SMEs
could get maximum benefit from the standard. It provides a clear understanding
of what a Quality Management System is and what the requirements are before
guiding you through the implementation process.
ISO/TC
176 is a technical committee on quality management and quality assurance. The
committee has been a leader in the development of standards in the fields of
quality management systems and tools since 1979. The committee has its own
website that provides information on ISO 9001 Auditing Practices Group and a
number of guidance papers and presentations on various quality management
system auditing topics. It will be a better option if guidance papers and presentations
are referred to. These literatures are very useful to people involving in ISO
9001:2015 QMS implementation as well to internal auditors carrying out ISO
9001:2015 QMS internal audit.
