Quality management
            

Quality Management focuses not only on the quality of the final product, but also throughout the full product lifecycle - ensuring the quality of each step along the way. However, self-defined standards of quality will vary greatly across manufacturers and industries. 

That's why ISO 9001 was introduced as a universal, international standard to oversee quality management. It covers seven quality management principles which include everything from employee engagement to evidence-based decision-making. 

Arguably the most important of those seven principles is "Process Approach." This is where the "what" gets translated to "how" and ensures that everything is being properly implemented and governed.

Get a head start

The road to ISO 9001 certification can be long one, especially for those just getting started. But you don't have to go it alone, and you don't have to walk it blindly. There are many tools that can help.

Business process analysis (BPA) platforms - such as ARIS - can help organize processes and give confidence to auditors who are authorizing the ISO 9001 certifications. It shows that each dimension of quality management is being closely managed and closely tracked - and that the "Process Approach" principle of the certification is in good hands.

But ARIS now offers more than just a foundation for managing processes. It offers a head towards certification. The best-in-class BPA solution now offers the process library for ISO-9001:2015 which offers checklists, templates and best practices to you on the fast track to certification.
