Response:
1) Clause 6.3 Planning of changes - ISO 9001 requires the organization to carry out changes in the QMS in a planned maner when it is determined the need of changes.
Having a plan include tasks, deadlines, responsibilities, resources, needed information, etc.)
Clause 8.5.6 - Control of changes - ISO 9001 requires the organization to review and control changes for products/service provision, to the extent necessary to ensure continuing conformity with requirements. Therefore it is necessary to stablish a process to manage changes, i.e. to review , approve and communicate that adequately changes have been implemented effectively. Also changes should be validated in order to not affect the QMS.
Basically clause 6.3 is referred to planning while clause 8.5.6 is referred to stablishing controls
Examples include : change in a process, change in exte rnal providers, changes in developing documented information, etc.
