Join our 52 week discussion about the upcoming revision to ISO9001 and how you can use this opportunity to transform your QMS. This is an in depth look at each section of the ISO9001 standard and where waste may be lurking. There will be suggestions of how to meet the expectations of the standard, while simultaneously simplifying your process overall.
Yes, we will talk about “Risk Based Thinking”. Yes , we will talk about the renumbering of the standard. But while some will simply comply with this revision by doing some “rewrites” of their documents, we will strive to do more. Let’s get some lean in there! Let’s get some Six Sigma in there to manage some of that risk and reduce some of that variation!
We look forward to taking this YEAR LONG journey with you. Start today and use our weekly post to get your New Year off to a great start.

Looking forward to the discussions
Sounds interesting.
A lot of talk is about making a QMS effective. I am all for simplifying quality management systems to render them more efficient as well.

Very interested in this discussion. Quality manager – Health
Seems a good starter for ten if you like.
My passion has always been that of “keeping it simple”….after all..the objective hasn’t changed…..has it?…..we have a customer……who needs to be kept happy and feeling loved.
The academic has always found that a very simple and direct approach too difficult to understand in my humble opinion…and often takes he view….if it isn’t complicated….how on earth can it be right!!
In answer to the headline then…..yes…often it is far too fat….for all the wrong reasons.
Will really enjoy this debate ….. probably a good place to stop 🙂
Would like to join
Good one
Definitely interested.
Let’s do it
How do I participate?
@RandyKaczynski – thanks for joining us! Just start talking – leave us your thoughts/comments. There is also some discussion in ISO9001 Group on LinkedIn, but little by little, we’ll migrate to this blog page for comments.
I’m interested in staying abreast of the possible ISO9001 changes, even though my current company is not ISO certified & I’m told will not pursue it.
As a manufacturing engineer for many years, I know it’s important to think lean and its always a good idea to be open to learn from others with specialized training, especially those with a lot of “Quality” experience.
Thanks for the discussion, Marnie!
