ISO 9001 specifies the requirements of quality management system. As Management Representative of your organization you have to implement ISO 9001. Explain the steps you will take to successfully get the ISO certification for your organization.

Answer 1

The requirements of a quality management system are defined by ISO 9001. As the Management Representative for my company, I am responsible for implementing ISO 9001. Before the company can be certified, I'll have to establish and document the manufacturing processes, as well as implement the proper procedures, to ensure that we can meet your quality standards. The following are crucial steps to obtaining an ISO-certified company:

First, I'll work on improving my management system. I'll identify the company's main processes, record them with employee participation, and then review, approve, and disseminate the documents to those who require access. Second, I will put in place an organizational system by ensuring that procedures are followed as written, that employees are properly trained for the tasks they are performing, and that effective reporting systems are in place to cover inspection, testing, corrective actions, preventive actions, management review meetings, goal monitoring, and statistical techniques. I will use measurable data to evaluate the effectiveness of business processes when practicable, and assess and take action to improve in the areas that are needed. Third, I will conduct an audit and examine the processes and system for compliance and effectiveness, observing, interviewing personnel, and reviewing sample records, identifying and reporting the management system's strengths and shortcomings, and taking corrective or preventive action as needed. Finally, I'll register the system by choosing an appropriate auditing body for external registration, submitting my management system documentation for review to ensure it meets the applicable standard, and preparing for an external audit to confirm that the system's requirements are being met and the management system is being implemented effectively.
