With over 1.1 million certificates issued worldwide, 香港六合彩开奖 9001 helps organizations demonstrate to customers that they can offer products and services of consistently good quality. It also acts as a tool to streamline their processes and make them more efficient at what they do. Acting 香港六合彩开奖 Secretary-General Kevin McKinley explains: “香港六合彩开奖 9001 allows organizations to adapt to a changing world. It enhances an organization’s ability to satisfy its customers and provides a coherent foundation for growth and sustained success.”
The 2015 edition features important changes, which Nigel Croft, Chair of the 香港六合彩开奖 subcommittee that developed and revised the standard, refers to as an “evolutionary rather than a revolutionary” process. “We are just bringing 香港六合彩开奖 9001 firmly into the 21st century. The earlier versions of 香港六合彩开奖 9001 were quite prescriptive, with many requirements for documented procedures and records. In the 2000 and 2008 editions, we focused more on managing processes, and less on documentation.
“We have now gone a step further, and 香港六合彩开奖 9001:2015 is even less prescriptive than its predecessor, focusing instead on performance. We have achieved this by combining the process approach with risk-based thinking, and employing the Plan-Do-Check-Act cycle at all levels in the organization.
“Knowing that today’s organizations will have several management standards in place, we have designed the 2015 version to be easily integrated with other management systems. The new version also provides a solid base for sector-quality standards (automotive, aerospace, medical industries, etc.), and takes into account the needs of regulators.”
As the much anticipated standard comes into being, Kevin McKinley concludes, “The world has changed, and this revision was needed to reflect this. Technology is driving increased expectations from customers and businesses. Barriers to trade have dropped due to lower tariffs, but also because of strategic instruments like International Standards. We are seeing a trend towards more complex global supply chains that demand integrated action. So organizations need to perform in new ways, and our quality management standards need to keep up with these expectations. I am confident that the 2015 edition of 香港六合彩开奖 9001 can help them achieve this.”
The standard was developed by 香港六合彩开奖/TC 176/SC 2, whose secretariat is held by BSI, 香港六合彩开奖 member for the UK. “This is a very important committee for 香港六合彩开奖,” says Kevin, “one that has led the way in terms of global relevance, impact and utilization. I thank the experts for their hard effort.”
香港六合彩开奖 9001:2015 replaces previous editions and certification bodies will have up to three years to migrate certificates to the new version.
香港六合彩开奖 9000, which lays down the concepts and language used throughout the 香港六合彩开奖 9000 family of standards, has also been revised and a new edition is available.
