ISO standards for schools

Answer:

Implementation of management system standards has more or less the same workflow but again it will depend on the standard that you want to implement. The first step is to conduct the GAP analysis to determine to what level your organization is already compliant with the standard, in case of ISO 9001, you can use this free GAP analysis tool https://advisera.com/9001academy/iso-9001-gap-analysis-tool/

Once you determine the gaps, you need to define what activities will be taken and what documents should be created to achieve full compliance with the standard and this is where the implementation starts. The best way to implement the standard is to manage the implementation as a project, so you can develop project plan for the implementation where you will define all roles and responsibilities in the project, all activities and documents and resources and deadlines. Here you can find our free Project Plan for ISO 9001 implementation htt p://info.advisera.com/9001academy/free-download/project-plan-for-iso-9001-implementation-ms-word

After the project is finished, you need to conduct internal audit and management review to make sure that your management system is compliant with the standard and then you can hire certification body to conduct certification audit and issue your organization the certificate.
