Planning the QMS and clause 6.1.1

In clause 6.1.1 it states: "When planning for the quality management system...." I was wondering if the planning here is referring to the addition of a new process to the quality management system or if it means that within the quality management system processes that risks and opportunities are considered.

Answer:

The planning is very important part of the QMS (Quality Management System) and PDCA cycle. Planning should be conducted on regular basis if there are no changes to the QMS or at any time when some changes are made to the QMS. For example, during the management review you can make plans for necessary resources for processes, training needs, etc and identification of risks and opportunities is also a part of the planning phase.
