ISO 9001: 2015 Transition Training: Quality Management System

Why Attend

Quality Management Systems and the ISO 9001:2015 standard has been designed for a global adoption in both manufacturing and service industries; it provides the necessary platform to allow companies of all sizes to demonstrate compliance to a global standard.

Now more than ever, government bodies, industry bodies, large corporations and many other organizations require their supply chain to adopt the principals of ISO 9001:2015. Therefore, whether you require your supply chain to adapt or you are within the supply chain, there is a greater need to understand the requirements of ISO 9001:2015. Furthermore, it is imperative to understand how the Risk Based approach and Process approach align with your business and to ensure your organization understands how to get the most benefit from the new international standard.

This course will give participants clear guidance on how to transition from ISO 9001:2008 to ISO 9001:2015 ahead of the 2018 implementation deadline.
