Overview

ISO 9000:2000 Series represents the latest result of the never-ending shift of user and customer needs. The new series focuses on these needs by addressing the following issues:

• Increased compatibility with the ISO 14000 Series,
• Common structure based on a Process model,
• Tailoring of ISO 9001 requirements to omit requirements which do not apply to an organization,
• ISO 9001 ... demonstration of continuous improvement and prevention of nonconformity,
• ISO 9001 ... address effectiveness while ISO 9004 should address both efficiency and effectiveness,
• ISO 9004 ... help achieve benefits for all interested parties, i.e. customers, owners, employees, suppliers and society,
• Simple to use, easy to understand, and use clear language and terminology
• Facilitate self-evaluation,
• Suitable for all sizes of organizations, operating in any economic or industrial sector, and the manufacturing orientation of the current standards should be removed.

This course examines these issues, identifies areas Quality Management Systems must review to ensure conformance, and assists Quality Management Systems during their development. Further, this course explores the new Quality Management Process Model that has been introduced.

This course contains two workshops designed to examine and explore the eight Quality Management Principles and the ISO 9001:2008 Standard.

Our activities extend from Canada to Europe to Asia to Africa to Middle East.
