The document provides an overview of key changes between the ISO 9001:2008 and ISO 9001:2015 standards and suggestions for addressing these changes. Some of the major changes discussed include a shift to a process-based approach, consideration of interested parties and risks, and expanded leadership responsibilities. The presentation recommends implementing process mapping, collecting stakeholder needs and expectations, conducting risk assessments, and clarifying roles and responsibilities to meet the new standard requirements. It also provides guidance on specific clauses and how different roles within an organization should view the standard. The intent is to help organizations understand and address the new provisions in ISO 9001:2015.

not as a set of departments but as a system

process
Multiple
processes can
be identified
within a system
C P CHANDRASEKARAN 4
This is not a
physical
boundary
5. Since system is built of processes, Describe
each process t understand the system
• A clear description of process is included in
ISO standard with the terminology as sources
of Inputs, Inputs, activities, Outputs and
Receiver of Outputs.
• The organisation may take note of this though
there is no explicit need to document this.
C P CHANDRASEKARAN 5
6. Articulate a Process within a system
with SINACOURE diagram
Process is the building block of Quality.
And can be mapped as in next slide

Dimensions of the process
• Scope
• Sequence
• People
• Role
• Input
• Output
• Controls
• Measures
• Tick mark here whether each of
these is described in your process
map. Then you will find the word

becomes in adequate to capture
these eight. Only way is to go to xl.

9. Install Process mapping in your
organisation with xl sheets
• A robust system of mapping the processes is
need to be introduced.
• Many make flow charts mechanically which
serves no purpose.
• The maps have to make all the dimensions of
the process explicit.
• These maps also should be easy to revise and
amend.
C P CHANDRASEKARAN 9
10. 2. Standard defines the beneficiaries of
system as stakeholders/Interested parties
• As the standard expands it scope from
customer to interested parties inputs also
have been shown to be emanating from
interested parties.
• The second new arrow mark is for
organisation and its context which must
incorporate risks and opportunities.

12. PDCA Cycle and the standard
How can
this be
done?
C P CHANDRASEKARAN 12
13. Collect needs and expectations of
stakeholders/interested parties
• A business can survive only if interested
parties willingly support. If any of the
interested parties starts working against the
business it will get destroyed in due course. So
standard now wants this to be done for
sustainability of your business.
• Who are the interested parties to your
business?
• What are their needs and expectations?
C P CHANDRASEKARAN 13
14. How system should be defined to
address this change
• A mechanism to review latest regulatory
requirements and market changes.
• Nomination of suitable agencies or managers
to identify the needs of interested parties
• After considering issues, needs of interested
parties, products and services of the
organisation the scope of QMS should be
defined/modified.
C P CHANDRASEKARAN 14
15. 3.Risk based thinking
• In every process which is followed, there are
inherent risks. They could be due to changes in
materials, changes in people, customer or source
of power etc. which suddenly impact on the
process.(differentiate between systemic failures
and risks)
• Are these considered while implementing the
standard?
• If so, what are the counter measures proposed?
• Again, there is no requirement for documentation
of this exercise.

17. NOTE 1 Options to address risks can include
1. avoiding risk,: example stop using nickel
2. taking risk in order to pursue an opportunity,: example export
equipment to Europe with tough laws
3. eliminating the risk source, : example stop importing leather from an
illegal source
4. changing the likelihood or consequences : example increase post
supply monitoring
5. sharing the risk : example use a service contractor for repair
6. or retaining risk by informed decision : example an airbag may not
open in the event of collision and insurer should be aware of it.
NOTE 2
Opportunities can lead to the adoption of new practices,
launching new products, opening new markets, addressing
new customers, building partnerships, using new technology
example export of ayurvedic products to health conscious

c) promoting the use of
process approach and risk
based thinking
d) promoting
improvement
e) supporting other
management roles
Restricted to
communicating,
establishing
policy, objectives
etc
Accountability of Top Management
needs to be understood as “Buck
stops here” . Theoretically, any
lapse in QMS implementation now
can be attributed to management .
Top management people need to
get visibly involved in QMS and
ensure integration of QMS and day
to day activities.
Since there is no MR, CEO should
now function as de facto MR and
encourage a team to supervise
QMS not on an audit to audit basis
but on daily basis.

It was 5.2
Restricted to

requirements are
met and
enhancing
customer
satisfaction
Top Management should
document all statutory and
regulatory requirements for the
products and services in the
markets they serve. Now this
cannot be left to a routine
departmental functionary.
As Risk management is new in the
standard, the risk assessment
exercise for the products and
services should be led by top
management. The latest is the
Product Liability Law in developed
countries.
Leadership
When the business is small, the risks are quite low. When it grows, the risks due to failure of
products or services can be huge.

Communication should not

the policy should be made

parties also (D)
It was 5.3 earlier Policy should support strategic
direction-. This means that after
every strategic meeting the
Management must review the
Quality policy (not just
periodically).
New businesses, new services and
new collaborations may demand
change in the policy.
Just like EMS standard, ISO 9001
also has asked the policy to be
made available to interested
parties through website or through
news letters.

b)
It was 5.5 earlier Management representative
post can be dissolved and can
be replaced by Quality systems
Manager assisted by a team.
This team should have 4
functions to enable that
processes will deliver the

Determine risks and
opportunities which
would
a) Enhance
desirable effects
b) Reduce
undesirable
effects
c) Achieve
improvement
This was not
there
In the context of the external issues and
internal challenges, a risk assessment frame
work should be developed which would
evaluate the risks and opportunities.
A severity rating of 1-10 can also be defined so
that those who are of high risks can be
selected. The counter measures for these risks
(avoidance is the best) should be given so that
they can be followed.
Example
Diesel cars to be banned – counter measure
divert the plant capacity for diesel generator
production.
It would require intense work to work on
opportunities in the horizon. Note 1 and Note 2
given in the standard can help.

Corrective action explained
clearly
The intent behind this clause
is not clear. Earlier the
preventive action was clear
but now we need to debate
and find suitable way to
implement the clause.
8.5.1
Some take a view that since the
risks are already identified, the
preventive action clause is no ore
needed. Then the preventive
action can be maintained under

56. 0.3 Risk based thinking
C P CHANDRASEKARAN 56
Risk-based thinking (see Clause A.4) is essential for achieving an effective quality management
system. The concept of risk-based thinking has been implicit in previous editions of this
International Standard including, for example, carrying out preventive action to eliminate
potential nonconformities, analysing any nonconformities that do occur, and taking action to
prevent recurrence that is appropriate for the effects of the nonconformity. To conform to the
requirements of this International Standard, an organization needs to plan and implement
actions to address risks and opportunities. Addressing both risks and opportunities establishes a
basis for increasing the effectiveness of the quality management system, achieving improved
results and preventing negative effects. Opportunities can arise as a result of a situation
favourable to achieving an intended result, for example, a set of circumstances that allow the
organization to attract customers, develop new products and services, reduce waste or improve
productivity. Actions to address opportunities can also include consideration of associated risks.
Risk is the effect

discriminatory, calm, non-confrontational); b) psychological (e.g. stress-reducing,
burnout prevention, emotionally protective); c) physical (e.g. temperature, heat,

knowledge and required updates. NOTE 1 Organizational knowledge is knowledge
specific to the organization; it is generally gained by experience. It is information that is
used and shared to achieve the organization’s objectives. NOTE 2 Organizational
knowledge can be based on: a) internal sources (e.g. intellectual property; knowledge
gained from experience; lessons learned from failures and successful projects;
capturing and sharing undocumented knowledge and experience; the results of
improvements in processes, products and services); b) external sources (e.g. standards
