Triad Magnetics is pleased to announce that we’ve recently been certified to ISO 9001:2015. The International Standards Organization’s most recent quality management standard, ISO 9001:2015 aims to improve industrial operations and enhance client satisfaction around the world.
What is ISO 9001:2015?
Released in September 2015, this standard is an update of the previous ISO 9001:2008. Companies with the earlier version of the certification have until September 2018 to upgrade their management systems to meet the new standard, and Triad is leading the way.
ISO 9001:2015 outlines requirements for businesses’ quality management systems to ensure that all products and services are efficient, safe, and of the highest quality. By outlining set guidelines for improvement, companies can offer clients assurance of reliable, safe processes and consistent, quality work.
The ISO 9001-2015 standard helps those companies that implement it improve their overall performance and provide a sound basis for sustainable development initiatives.
What’s New in ISO 9001:2015?
The ISO 9001 quality management standard now includes 10 clauses rather than eight. The ten clauses are as follows:
- Scope
- Normative reference
- Terms and definitions
- Context of the organization
- Leadership
- Planning
- Support
- Operation
- Performance evaluation
- Improvement
The new standard places an emphasis on risk based thinking. This enables our organization to determine the factors that could cause our processes to deviate from planned results, to put in place preventative controls to minimize negative effects and to make maximum use of opportunities as they arise.
The clauses are arranged according to the PDCA (plan, do, check, act) cycle model, to ensure all processes within a system are of optimal compatibility with one another, thereby streamlining production, decreasing downtime, and ensuring safety and consistency.
