ISO 9001,the world’s most popular Quality Management system standard is widely recognized across the globe. ISO 9001 renders a systems approach to quality management. It drives the development and deployment of a structured Quality Management system in an organization. Process/Systems approach is the basic principle of ISO 9001. Many Organizations have benefited by complying to ISO 9001 in terms of Operational efficiency improvement, customer satisfaction improvement and Quality improvement. Organization’s Quality Management systems are developed based on the requirements of ISO 9001. While ISO 9001 is a generic standard, the Quality Management system is specific to the organization and is developed based on its size, type, business, operating environment.
Development, deployment of Quality Management system used to be a manual job based on documents and records. However, with the advent of web based technologies, many organizations have started using software packages for their Quality Management System. The different processes of ISO 9001 are automated through the in built modules of these packages. Typical processes that are automated by these packages are Risk Management, Quality objective, non conformance management, internal audit management, Management reviews and Purchase. The benefits derived by the organizations in using the software packages are multi dimensional. The primary benefit is the savings in effort, cost and time spent towards definition and deployment of the Quality Management System. Second is the simplicity and ease of deployment due to the process visibility and intuitiveness of the packages.
