Starting ISO 9001:2015 project

Answer:

Firstly of all you need to make sure top management is involved in the project, this is very important since there are many requirements for management in ISO 9001:2015 but also because they will need to provide the necessary resources for the implementation of the QMS.

Secondly you should learn the different requirements of the standard. This white paper can help you to understand the different clauses of ISO 9001 - Clause by clause explanation of ISO 9001:2015 : https://info.advisera.com/9001academy/free-download/clause-by-clause-explanation-of-iso-90012015

After you can conduct a GAP analysis to know which requirements your company needs to comply with and which ones is already compliant. You can use this free tool - ISO 9001 GAP ana lysis tool: https://advisera.com/9001academy/iso-9001-gap-analysis-tool/

Then you can write a Project Plan, this is not something mandatory in the standard but will help the company to establish responsibilities, milestones, etc. This white paper can help you to write a project plan - Project Plan for ISO 9001 implementation: https://info.advisera.com/9001academy/free-download/project-plan-for-iso-9001-implementation-ms-word

Then you can start implementing every clause of the standard from writing the policies until management review.
