experience of applying quality management systems.
How does it work?
After my studies as a technical engineer, I worked successively as a Quality
Test Engineer, Quality Control Manager, Quality Auditor and Quality
Manager in various sectors.
Luc: ISO 9001 is the world’s most popular and most commonly used
standard for quality management systems.
shows that you provide products and services that meet the customer’s
requirements, comply with the law and legislation, and meet the
organisation’s own requirements;
ISO 9001 is positive for your image: you show that you comply with
internationally recognised quality standards. This is often a requirement
for customers and suppliers to do business with you.
The most recent ISO 9001:2015 standard is constructed around seven quality
management principles:
1. customer focus;
2. leadership;
3. engagement of people;
4. process approach;
5. improvement;
7. relationship management.
ISO 9001:2015 describes for each part which requirements your products,
services and organisation have to meet in order to enjoy the above benefits.
I understand that the previous version of ISO 9001 dates from 2008
and that there is now a new version?
That’s right. A new version of ISO 9001 appears about every seven years.
It was first issued in 1987: at that time, you had to describe in detail what your
business did. What applied in the 1994 version, was ‘say what you do and do
what you say’. In the 2000 version, you had to focus on proper processes in
order to continually improve and thereby increase your customer satisfaction.
There was nothing added in 2008, but it was more precise about the
interpretation of the standard. ISO 9001:2015 was published on 23
September 2015.
No. There is a transitional period of three years after the publication of each
new version of ISO 9001, during which organisations can adapt their quality
management to match the latest version. Organisations must therefore
implement the new ISO 9001:2015 standard before 23 September 2018 in
order to continue complying with ISO 9001.
What are the main differences between ISO 9001:2008 and ISO
9001:2015?
ISO 9001:2015 HAS TEN CLAUSES INSTEAD OF EIGHT
ISO 9001:2015 has ten clauses instead of eight. The following table shows
the relationship of the ISO 9001:2008 clauses to those in the new ISO
9001:2015.
0. Introduction 0. Introduction
1. Scope 1. Scope
6. Planning
The first three clauses in ISO 9001:2015 are largely the same as those in
ISO 9001:2008, but there are considerable differences between ISO
9001:2008 and ISO 9001:2015 from the fourth clause onwards. The last
seven clauses are now arranged according to the PDCA cycle (Plan, Do,
Check, Act). The following figure shows this.
With this new arrangement, the new ISO 9001:2015 strives to give additional
momentum to the continuous and systematic improvement of processes
within organisations.
As a result of the new arrangement in ten clauses, ISO 9001:2015 now has
the same unambiguous structure as all standardised management systems,
known as a ‘High Level Structure’ (HLS).
The core elements of ISO 9001, ISO 14001, ISO 22000, OHSAS 18001, etc.
are therefore all the same from now on. This has made the integration of
Risk-based thinking has a very important place in ISO 9001:2015. You are
now strongly encouraged as an organisation to use risk analysis in order to
decide for yourself which challenges you see in the management of your
business processes.
In ISO 9001:2008, customers were often named as being the only interested
party. This concept has been extended in ISO 9001:2015. Suppliers,
personnel, shareholders, legislative bodies, society, internal customers, etc.
are now included as interested parties, in addition to customers.
This has always been part of the standard in another form, however.
Therefore, it is not expected that organisations will have to implement major
changes in this respect. You cannot make or deliver a good product without
knowing the requirements and expectations of customers and interested
parties in any case. This is the basis of a quality management system.
The quality management system is now more than ever a means for being
strategically successful by addressing the needs of interested parties and by
managing opportunities and threats.
management committee who had the responsibility and authority for steering
the quality management system along the right lines. ISO 9001:2015 does
not mention this aspect any more. The idea behind the change is that quality
is a matter for everyone and for all levels within the organisation.
DOCUMENTED INFORMATION
The definition states that it concerns ‘information that the organisation has to
control and maintain’. The information can be in any format and come from
various sources and media. Diverse forms of evidence or documentation are
therefore possible.
This is not an exhaustive list of the differences between ISO 9001:2008 and
ISO 9001:2015, but it does show the main points.
1. Baseline measurement
2. Plan of approach
Draw up a plan based on the baseline measurement. Thanks to this plan, you
can take the time to make changes and to implement improvements step by
step.
3. Implementation
Measure whether the changes have had the desired effect. Measure the input
and output of the processes you consider to be important because they are
critical or risky, for example.
5. Certification
Show your interested parties not just the certificate, but also show them the
results with pride. Let them see how well your organisation manages its
processes and continuously improves them.

Hi Luc,
Q
Do you think ISO is become too prescriptive/technical in the
sense that SIPOC which we know from Six Sigma is more or
less a must?
I do agree that it makes life a lot easier when one can identify
the red line e.g. focus on the added value-

Hi
Good article.. But many of the questions about the transition
are unanswered.. E.g. we have talked of only SIPOC.. as a
tool for process based approach.
There are many other tools which one need to deploy like for
risk management tools like SWOT, FMEA, Fault tree
analysis, PESTEL analysis etc.. are must..
If the organisation is not measuring the critical processes,
deployment of Balanced score card as a tool is must..
For process improvement organisations need to deploy lean ,
six sigma, toc , methods, tools and techniques..
So ISO needs to be more prescriptive in the sense so that
the standard can be audit-able and add more value for the
organisations..

Dear Santosh,
And the effects of uncertainty are not the same for all
organizations. That is why the ISO 9001:2015 give no
requirements for formal risk management methods or
documented risk management processes.

Dear Sir,
Thanks
Your understanding of QMS is fantastic and I am a novice. I
have an ISO 9001 certification in my company but need to
upgrade to AS 9100. Since the latter has IS 9001- 2008
enshrined within, do I have to now incorporate IS 9001-2015
in our new manual? Could you kindly guide me as to how I
can handle this transition smoothly.
