Transitioning to ISO 9001:2015

Response:

First of all you can conduct a GAP analysis to know which requirements your company is already complying with and which need to be reviewed. Here you can check our free on-line tool: https://advisera.com/9001academy/iso-9001-gap-analysis-tool/

Then you can learn the new clauses and requirements contained in the new version of the standard ISO 9001:2015. In this white paper, you can find a summary of each clause - Clause by clause explanation of ISO 9001:2015: https://info.advisera.com/9001academy/free-download/clause-by-clause-explanation-of-iso-90012015

Then you can start with the steps of the transition, which basically are the following:
1) Determining the context of the organization
2) Define your interested parties
3) Review the scope of your QMS
4) Check your organizational leadership and demonstrate it
5) Review your quality objectives and their aligment with your company strategy
