                                        There is nothing to worry about if you are already certified to ISO               The good news is that the 2008 release will not have the same impact.

                                        standard had been mistakenly applied incorrectly. A process or                    quot;amendmentquot; is focused on making changes for clarification purposes

                                                                                                                          organizations. Thus, the new ISO 9001:2008 standard should have

                                        comply with the new standard. But, as we have said, there aren't likely                       quot;devicesquot; is changed to quot;equipmentquot;.

                                         grant certification. It should be noted that certification is not described as any of the 'needs' of an organization as a driver for using ISO 9001 (see
                                         ISO 9001:2000 section 1 'Scope') but does recognize that it may be used for such a purpose (see ISO 9001:2000 section 0.1 'Introduction').

DYNAMIC STRATEGIES MANAGEMENT SYSTEM


                                       former version will need to take into consideration whether the clarifications introduced have an impact on their current interpretation of ISO
                                       9001:2000, as changes may be necessary to their QMS.

                                       ISO 9001:2008 is intended to be generic and applicable to all organizations, regardless of type, size and product category. It is recognized,
                                       however, that not all the requirements of this standard will necessarily be relevant to all organizations. Under certain circumstances, an
                                       organization may consider the exclusion of the application of some requirements of ISO 9001:2008 from its QMS. ISO 9001:2008 makes
                                       allowance for such situations, through sub-clause 1.2 Application.

                                        FAQs on ISO 9001:2008

                                        1. What are the main changes in ISO 9001:2008?

                                        ISO 9001:2008 has been developed in order to introduce clarifications to the existing requirements of ISO 9001:2000 and changes that are
                                        intended to improve compatibility with ISO 14001:2004. ISO 9001:2008 does not introduce additional requirements nor does it change the
                                        intent of the ISO 9001:2000 standard.

                                        Certification to ISO 9001:2008 is not an ―upgrade‖, and organizations that are certified to ISO 9001:2000 should be afforded the same
                                        status as those who have already received a new certificate to ISO 9001:2008

                                        All changes between ISO 9001:2000 and ISO 9001:2008 will be explained by the Process Consultants engaged in the process of assisting
                                        your Organization in generating Process Compliance with respect to ISO 9001 Certification.

                                        2. What are the main benefits to be derived from implementing an ISO 9000 quality management system?

                                        The ISO 9000 standards give organizations an opportunity to increase value to their activities and to improve their performance continually,
                                        by focusing on their major processes. The standards place great emphasis on making quality management systems closer to the processes
                                        of organizations and on continual improvement. As a result, they direct users to the achievement of business results, including the
                                        satisfaction of customers and other interested parties.

                                        The management of an organization should be able to view the adoption of the quality management system standards as a profitable
                                        business investment, not just as a required certification issue.

                                        Among the perceived benefits of using the standards are:
                                                The connection of quality management systems to organizational processes
                                                The encouragement of a natural progression towards improved organizational performance, via:
                                                - The use of the Quality Management Principles
                                                - The adoption of a quot;process approachquot;
                                                - Emphasis of the role of top management
                                                - Requirements for the establishment of measurable objectives at relevant functions and levels
                                                - Being orientated toward quot;continual improvementquot; and quot;customer satisfactionquot;, including the monitoring of information on
                                                quot;customer satisfactionquot; as a measure of system performance.
                                                - Measurement of the quality management system, processes, and product

                                        3. How will the implementation of the amended standard help my organization to improve its efficiency?


                                                  ISO 9001:2008 aims at guaranteeing the effectiveness (but not necessarily the efficiency) of the organization. For improved
                                                  organizational efficiency, however, the best results can be obtained by using ISO 9004 in addition to ISO 9001:2008. The guiding
                                                  quality management principles are intended to assist an organization in continual improvement, which should lead to efficienc ies

                                       4. How can the processes in an organization be determined?

                                       Identify the organization's intended outputs, and the processes needed for achieving them. These will need to include processes for
DYNAMIC STRATEGIES MANAGEMENT SYSTEM



                                       Management, Resources, Realization and Measurement and Improvement.
                                                 Identify all process inputs and outputs, along with the suppliers and customers, who may be internal or external.
                                                 Identify the sequence and interactions of the processes.

                                       5. Should an organization define and document all its processes?

                                       The main purpose of documentation is to enable the consistent and stable operation of an organization's processes.

                                       Although statutory, standards' or customer requirements may require certain documentation, there is no defined ―catalogue‖, or list of processes
                                       that has to be documented in ISO 9001, apart from the 6 indicated ones.

                                       The organization should determine which processes are to be documented on the basis of:
                                               The size of the organization and type of its activities,
                                               The complexity of its processes and their interactions,
                                               The criticality of the processes and
                                               Availability of competent personnel.

                                       A number of different methods can be used to document processes, such as graphical representations, written instructions, checklists, flow
                                       charts, visual media, or electronic methods.

                                       6. How much detail is required in process documentation?

                                       The extent of detail is likely to depend upon factors such as:
                                                The size of an organization and its types of activities,
                                                The complexity of its processes and their interactions, and
                                                The competence (level of education, training, skills and experience) of its personnel.

                                       7. Is there a standard way of describing a process?

                                       No, there is no standard way to describe a process. It depends on the culture, management style, staff literacy, personal attributes and their
                                       interactions.

                                       A process may be described using a flow chart, block diagram, responsibility matrix, written procedures or pictures.

                                       Process flowcharts or block diagrams can show how policies, objectives, influential factors, job functions, activities, material, equipment,
                                       resources, information, people and decision making interact and/or interrelate in a logical order.

                                       8. What is the impact of ISO 9001:2008 on certification?

                                       Certification to ISO 9001:2008 is not an ―upgrade‖, and organizations that are certified to ISO 9001:2000 should be afforded the same status as
                                       those who have already received a new certificate to ISO 9001:2008.

                                       ISO and the International Accreditation Forum (IAF) have agreed the following ―Implementation Plan‖ with respect to accredited certification to
                                       ISO 9001:2008:

                                       ―Accredited certification to the ISO 9001:2008 shall not be granted until the publication of ISO 9001:2008 as an International Standard.

                                       Certification of conformity to ISO 9001:2008 and/or national equivalents shall only be issued after official publication of I SO 9001:2008 (which
                                       should take place before the end of 2008) and after a routine surveillance or re-certification audit against ISO 9001:2008.

                                       early in the implementation project as in the long term it will bring
                                       significant time and money savings to your organization if staff are

                                       5. IMPLEMENTING THE SYSTEM

                                       Now you are appropriately prepared with an understanding of the
                                       fundamentals, have a project plan and a trained team assembled.
                                       Next is the hard part, the actual implementation.

                                       Here we will present the three core elements of implementation:
                                       5a. – Gap analysis
                                       5b. – Write and develop documentation
                                       5c. – Communicate implementation

                                       These cannot be done in series, but must be done at the same time
                                       and often done multiple times. They are presented here in no
                                       particular order.

                                       5A. GAP ANALYSIS

                                       A gap analysis is a process an organization goes through to
                                       determine the difference between what the process or quality
                                       management system is like now and what it should be when it
                                       conforms to the requirements of ISO 9001 (or any management
                                       system standard).

                                       At the early implementation phase a gap analysis should focus on:
                                       ❑ Whether procedures have been established when necessary
                                       and/or required
                                       ❑ Compliance to established procedures and processes
                                       ❑ Proper resource allocation
                                       ❑ Effective communication of objectives and responsibilities
                                       ❑ Competency of personnel and training programs
                                       ❑ The organization‘s ability to make changes when necessary

                                       Once you have a full understanding of these issues you may realize
                                       that you are a long way on the road to ISO 9001 already.

                                       You can then evaluate the best way to formalize what you have and
                                       make strategic decisions on how best to fill those gaps that were
                                                                                                                           Key Objectives

                                       Later in the implementation process a gap analysis may include the
                                       following areas:
                                       ❑ The organization‘s quality culture.
                                       ❑ Knowledge of the quality management system and
                                       ISO 9001.
                                       ❑ Awareness of the Quality Policy and quality objectives.
                                                                                                                   ❑ The suitability and effectiveness of the quality system.

                         within two to three months. Some good examples of records are
                         purchase orders, sales records, contracts, internal audits, meeting

                         operation before conducting a third party audit. This operating
                         period should also include an entire internal audit cycle and a

The only likely impact would be on organizations that had In fact, the ISO technical committee (TC176) who develops the ISO previously misunderstood the intent of certain parts of the standard and, 9000 series of standards is purposely planning the next release as an due to the clarifications in the 2008 version, it is recognized that the amendment rather than a formal revision. The difference is that an standard had been mistakenly applied incorrectly. A process or quot;amendmentquot; is focused on making changes for clarification purposes procedure here or there might need some minor modification in this only and for better alignment with ISO 14001, the standard for case. environmental management. With the 2008 release, the committee is purposely intending not to introduce substantive changes that will affect the QMS processes and documentation of currently certified So, the upcoming release of ISO 9001:2008 should be a fairly simple organizations.

As • usual, we expect there will be a 1 - 2 year quot;transition periodquot; following There are some terminology changes that are intended to the release of the new revision to make any necessary changes to clarify ideas or make documentation more consistent - e.g. comply with the new standard.

It provides a number of requirements which an organization needs to fulfill if it is to achieve custom er satisfaction through consistent products and services which meet customer expectations. It includes a requirement for the continual (i.e. planned) improvement of the Quality Management System, for which ISO 9004:2000 provides many hints. This is the only implementation for which third-party auditors may grant certification. It should be noted that certification is not described as any of the 'needs' of an organization as a driver for using ISO 9001 (see ISO 9001:2000 section 1 'Scope') but does recognize that it may be used for such a purpose (see ISO 9001:2000 section 0.1 'Introduction'). • The key focuses of the ISO 9001:2008 amendment were to enhance the clarity of ISO 9001:2000 and to enhance its compatibility with ISO 14001:2004. The changes incorporated in this ISO 9001:2008 edition were classified in terms of impact into the following categories: o No changes or minimum changes on user documents, including records o No changes or minimum changes to existing processes of the organization o No additional training required or minimal training required o No effects on current certifications ● ● ●
  • 3. ISO 9001:2008 has been developed in order to introduce clarifications to the existing requirements of ISO 9001:2000 and to improve compatibility with ISO 14001:2004. ISO 9001:2008 does not introduce additional requirements nor does it change the intent of the ISO 9001:2000 standard. No new requirements were introduced in ISO 9001:2008 edition but, in order to benefit from the clarifications of ISO 9001:2008, users of the DYNAMIC STRATEGIES MANAGEMENT SYSTEM former version will need to take into consideration whether the clarifications introduced have an impact on their current interpretation of ISO 9001:2000, as changes may be necessary to their QMS. ISO 9001:2008 is intended to be generic and applicable to all organizations, regardless of type, size and product category. It is recognized, however, that not all the requirements of this standard will necessarily be relevant to all organizations. Under certain circumstances, an organization may consider the exclusion of the application of some requirements of ISO 9001:2008 from its QMS. ISO 9001:2008 makes allowance for such situations, through sub-clause 1.2 Application.  FAQs on ISO 9001:2008 1. What are the main changes in ISO 9001:2008? ISO 9001:2008 has been developed in order to introduce clarifications to the existing requirements of ISO 9001:2000 and changes that are intended to improve compatibility with ISO 14001:2004. ISO 9001:2008 does not introduce additional requirements nor does it change the intent of the ISO 9001:2000 standard. Certification to ISO 9001:2008 is not an ―upgrade‖, and organizations that are certified to ISO 9001:2000 should be afforded the same status as those who have already received a new certificate to ISO 9001:2008 All changes between ISO 9001:2000 and ISO 9001:2008 will be explained by the Process Consultants engaged in the process of assisting your Organization in generating Process Compliance with respect to ISO 9001 Certification. 2. What are the main benefits to be derived from implementing an ISO 9000 quality management system? The ISO 9000 standards give organizations an opportunity to increase value to their activities and to improve their performance continually, by focusing on their major processes. The standards place great emphasis on making quality management systems closer to the processes of organizations and on continual improvement. As a result, they direct users to the achievement of business results, including the satisfaction of customers and other interested parties. The management of an organization should be able to view the adoption of the quality management system standards as a profitable business investment, not just as a required certification issue. Among the perceived benefits of using the standards are: The connection of quality management systems to organizational processes The encouragement of a natural progression towards improved organizational performance, via: - The use of the Quality Management Principles - The adoption of a quot;process approachquot; - Emphasis of the role of top management - Requirements for the establishment of measurable objectives at relevant functions and levels - Being orientated toward quot;continual improvementquot; and quot;customer satisfactionquot;, including the monitoring of information on quot;customer satisfactionquot; as a measure of system performance. - Measurement of the quality management system, processes, and product - Consideration of statutory and regulatory requirements. - Attention to resource availability 3. How will the implementation of the amended standard help my organization to improve its efficiency? ISO 9001:2008 aims at guaranteeing the effectiveness (but not necessarily the efficiency) of the organization. For improved organizational efficiency, however, the best results can be obtained by using ISO 9004 in addition to ISO 9001:2008. The guiding quality management principles are intended to assist an organization in continual improvement, which should lead to efficienc ies throughout the organization. 
  • 4.  4. How can the processes in an organization be determined? Identify the organization's intended outputs, and the processes needed for achieving them. These will need to include processes for DYNAMIC STRATEGIES MANAGEMENT SYSTEM Management, Resources, Realization and Measurement and Improvement. Identify all process inputs and outputs, along with the suppliers and customers, who may be internal or external. Identify the sequence and interactions of the processes. 5. Should an organization define and document all its processes? The main purpose of documentation is to enable the consistent and stable operation of an organization's processes. Although statutory, standards' or customer requirements may require certain documentation, there is no defined ―catalogue‖, or list of processes that has to be documented in ISO 9001, apart from the 6 indicated ones. The organization should determine which processes are to be documented on the basis of: The size of the organization and type of its activities, The complexity of its processes and their interactions, The criticality of the processes and Availability of competent personnel. A number of different methods can be used to document processes, such as graphical representations, written instructions, checklists, flow charts, visual media, or electronic methods. 6. How much detail is required in process documentation? The extent of detail is likely to depend upon factors such as: The size of an organization and its types of activities, The complexity of its processes and their interactions, and The competence (level of education, training, skills and experience) of its personnel. 7. Is there a standard way of describing a process? No, there is no standard way to describe a process. It depends on the culture, management style, staff literacy, personal attributes and their interactions. A process may be described using a flow chart, block diagram, responsibility matrix, written procedures or pictures. Process flowcharts or block diagrams can show how policies, objectives, influential factors, job functions, activities, material, equipment, resources, information, people and decision making interact and/or interrelate in a logical order. 8. What is the impact of ISO 9001:2008 on certification? Certification to ISO 9001:2008 is not an ―upgrade‖, and organizations that are certified to ISO 9001:2000 should be afforded the same status as those who have already received a new certificate to ISO 9001:2008. ISO and the International Accreditation Forum (IAF) have agreed the following ―Implementation Plan‖ with respect to accredited certification to ISO 9001:2008: ―Accredited certification to the ISO 9001:2008 shall not be granted until the publication of ISO 9001:2008 as an International Standard. Certification of conformity to ISO 9001:2008 and/or national equivalents shall only be issued after official publication of I SO 9001:2008 (which should take place before the end of 2008) and after a routine surveillance or re-certification audit against ISO 9001:2008. 

They are presented here in no particular order. 5A. GAP ANALYSIS A gap analysis is a process an organization goes through to determine the difference between what the process or quality management system is like now and what it should be when it conforms to the requirements of ISO 9001 (or any management system standard). At the early implementation phase a gap analysis should focus on: ❑ Whether procedures have been established when necessary and/or required ❑ Compliance to established procedures and processes ❑ Proper resource allocation ❑ Effective communication of objectives and responsibilities ❑ Competency of personnel and training programs ❑ The organization‘s ability to make changes when necessary Once you have a full understanding of these issues you may realize that you are a long way on the road to ISO 9001 already. You can then evaluate the best way to formalize what you have and make strategic decisions on how best to fill those gaps that were Key Objectives discovered so that established requirements can be met and customer satisfaction enhanced.
