ISO 9001 and the training matrix

I start with clause 5.3 about roles, responsibilities and authorities.

For each role I list the relevant activities performed. Then, for each activity I ask:

What kind of training is needed to be able to be competent?
What kind of experience is needed to be able to be competent?
Now, I’m prepared to build a training matrix

Then, for each role I ask direct manager or supervisor to evaluate present competency based on opinion, process performance, costs, complaints and internal audits. Any lack of competence must be treated through an action that can be included in the annual training plan. That plan can be updated following decisions made after monthly or quarterly performance monitoring reviews.

The following material will provide you more information about training and competence:
