Courses > ISO 9001 Best practices
Context
  • After the implementation rush, many ISO 9001 management systems are looking for a second breath, generally on two axes: simplification & efficiency
  • In parallel, the actors of these systems (quality managers, process owners, auditors) are getting more professional
  • The training needs are moving: instead of basic principles, time is now to best practices allowing to improve one’s system in a targeted way

Objectives
The objectives of the course are to

  • Improve control on ISO 9001 elements that generally generate most difficulties: e.g processes, indicators, management review, management of competences, satisfaction monitoring, internal audits, …
  • Bring, thanks case studies and standard answers, simple, efficient and directly transposable concept, models and tools
  • Improve the management system return on investment and the confidence and expectation level placed in it
  • Engage the turn towards best practices

The objectives of the course are not to

  • Browse systematically all requirements of the standard
  • Stick for long sessions on theory
  • Lock the thinking and the system with complicated tools

Train to audit techniques and procedures (dealt with in another course)
