Where to start with ISO 9001 transition

Answer:

The best way to start with the transition is to raise awareness in the company regarding the transition and what it brings to the company. This can be done with presentation on the benefits of making the transition and how it will affect the everyday activities (decrease of documentation requirements, etc.).

The next step would be to conduct gap analysis and determine to what extent you company is already compliant with the new version and once you learn that you can develop project plan for the transition and implement the changes in you system.

I wouldn't start with particular document but with requirements sthat need to be implemented and once you know them you can start updating your documents and processes. Quality manual is no longer mandatory but if you find it useful, you can keep it, you just need to update it according to the new version.
