Difference between clauses 4.4 and 8.1

I am not clear in my understanding of clause 4.4 and 8.1. They appear same to me in terms of determining, implementing etc, of the processes.

Have consulted 'clause by clause' and 'what to do' publications too and yet find it difficult to comply for the documentation and record keeping of our QMS.

Answer:

The main difference is that clause 4.4 is much broader, covering planning for the entire Quality Management System, meanwhile clause 8.1 covers planning for all of operations aspects of the QMS, i.e. design, customer requirements, , purchasing, etc.

You can see these materials to help you understanding clauses 4.4 and 8.1:
