ISO 9001 Certification in Saudi Arabia can cause customer disappointment, and eventually, customers will find another place to procure the product or service you are trying to sell. Once a customer is lost it is very hard to get them to return, and this is why the ISO 9001 standard has dedicated two sections of requirements for the QMS to include processes that ensure the company understands what is needed for the product or service.  Determination of Requirements Related to the Product ISO 9001 Certification tries to highlight to the reader that determining requirements can sometimes be more difficult than it first sounds.

Planning, reviewing, and improving a company’s activities through an effective EMS can certainly mitigate environmental impacts. ISO 14001 standard head of the Scottish Environmental Protection Agency, said in his 2017 TedEx speech that humans are still thought to be consuming the planet’s natural resources at a rate three times greater than the earth can sustain; that is, humanity is consuming so many natural resources that it could only be sustainable if we had three planets, not just one.  Sustainability – What does it mean? Brundtland Report defines sustainability as “development that meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs.”  ISO 14001 Standard that said, it’s quite clear that a successful Environmental Managem...

Understanding Resource Management in ISO 9001 Certification

Image
  ISO 9001 Certification in Saudi Arabia is a requirement for Quality Management Systems? Does this seem to go further than you expect in defining what is required in a Quality Management System? Like you, I have looked at this and have come to a conclusion: this set of requirements defines a “Business Management System.” This is a phrase used by some companies, and one that I prefer to use, for what is defined in ISO 9001 standard, rather than some sort of subset of a business that would be labeled Quality management system. ISO 9001 Standard as belonging to the quality department, and not really part of how management makes the business run. Somehow these were unrelated, but starting with the 2000 version of ISO 9001 Certification, this changed.  How Resource Management fits with changes to Business Management: ISO 9001 standard started interpreting the Quality Management System as a more holistic thing, rather than just how a product is made, and it started bringing in the...

How to Make Management Review More Practical

Image
  It comes as a surprise to many people that there is no requirement in ISO 9001 for Management Review Meetings. ISO 9001 Certification in Saudi Arabia  does not mention meetings at all, only that organization's Top Management must review the Quality Management System at planned intervals to ensure continuing suitability, adequacy and effectiveness. The review needs to assess information from a list of Management Review Inputs to assess opportunities for improvement and determine needs to change the Quality Management System, Quality Policy & Objectives.  What are the required Management Review Inputs? The ISO 9001 standard has a minimum list of seven inputs that Top Management needs to review to assess the health of the Quality Management System and if you are to satisfactorily assess information to judge the Quality Management System to be adequate, without holding a meeting, there are several smaller reviews that need to happen.
