Dear Readers:
In this issue, we have a number of pieces on ISO 9001:2015. ISO is now offering broad guidance on transitioning to risk in ISO 9001:2015. As well, they seem to be offering a new tagline, which may point to the future of quality and other management systems that will incorporate risk.
More than 1.1 million companies are registered to ISO 9001. Certification Bodies, internal auditors, and management system consultants are going to conduct risk based, process audits. A number of years ago, we wrote Value Added Auditing to meet our client requirements. With ISO 9001 moving to risk, ASQ was kind to pick up the book and offer it through their catalog. Check it out and tell us what you think? After conducting many risk audits through the years, we’ve found that they are different than traditional management system audits.
We hope you enjoy this issue. We look forward hearing from you. Best,
Greg Hutchins PE CERM | Quality + Engineering | CERM Academy | 800.COMPETE | 503.233.1012
