In our Department, there are about 7 units, and about 100 employees. My question is whether the Department can get ISO 9001 . Regardless Our organization get it or not?..

Answer:

Theoretically, it is possible but I'm failing to see the value in it. QMS is developed to be applied in whole organization and it contain requirements for the entire organization. If you decide to implement it only in one department, it means that the rest of the organization will be the client and supplier of this department, and on the level of the department you will have to define processes, such as purchasing, design and development, etc, and implementing it in just one department would have arguable effect on the conformity of the organization products and services and customer satisfaction. Implementing some parts of the standard can be ben eficial for the department, but implementing QMS that will only cover one department would cause the department to have redundant bureaucracy and not much more
