Having ISO 9001 Quality Management System Certificate is a long term business. There are a number of studies to be done. after all ISO 9001 quality standards before are very general standards. It is applicable in all sizes from small sized organizations to large organizations. Therefore, these standards should be applied considering the structure, characteristics and conditions of the organization that wants to obtain a certificate.
In this way, even if the steps to be taken in each organization are different from each other, the certification activities to be carried out will be similar. Therefore, by making some generalizations, the steps to be taken in order to set up ISO 9001 Quality Management System can be explained as follows.
Training activities
Everyone from the lowest level employee to the top level executive in the organization should be familiar with the Quality Management System and ISO 9000 standards. Generally, these activities are carried out by a project team established within the organization. In the first step, training needs of the employees are determined and trainings are organized.
System installation works
This step identifies all activities of the organization and analyzes the business processes of each. All processes are documented in accordance with the requirements of the ISO 9001 standard. The point to be considered in this study is the efficiency of the organization. The aim is not to meet quality standards, but to configure these standards to meet the needs of the organization. The work processes prepared by this study will reveal the implementation instructions and procedures of the organization.
Pilot application studies
Once the documentation is complete, the system will be installed, but it is not the right approach to start the whole application at once. When installing the system, new rules may be set and the way the work is performed may be different. These changes should be made public. Therefore, it is best to start from a certain point.
Correction work
If the installed system has non-depleting points, this will occur during the pilot application. There may be points unthinkable during system installation. Determined rules may cause difficulties in implementation. After these arrangements are made, the system established will be extended to the whole organization.
Internal audit activities
Internal audit and management review is also a standard of the ISO 9001 Quality Management System. This work is the sine qua non of the system.
Certification studies
Once the system is installed, certification work can now begin. At this stage, a certification body will be selected and a certification application will be made.
