ISO 9001 is the world’s most popular quality management system standard which is being widely used by organizations across the world. ISO 9001 certification process steps are a sequence of activities/milestones. It starts with awareness training on Quality Management System/ ISO 9001 to the key personnel, which is followed by Gap analysis of current systems with the requirements of ISO 9001. Subsequently, the development/up gradation of Quality Management system (Procedures, Policy, checklists, templates, guidelines) is taken up. Post development of the Quality Management system, employees across the organization is trained on the ISO 9001 standard as well as the Quality Management system of the organization.
Deployment of the Quality Management system follows the training. Typically, deployment includes handholding of the employees, answering their queries and developing sample documents. After deployment, internal audits are conducted across the organization to verify the deployment and check the compliance. The results of the internal audit and other inputs required for Management review are collated and a Management review is conducted. After completion of this cycle, external audit is conducted, typically in two stages. While the Quality Management system documentation is verified in the first stage, its deployment is verified across the organization in the second stage. Successful completion of the audit entitles the organization to ISO 9001 certification.
