Abstract
Organizations certified in the fourth edition（ISO 9001：2008）need to complete the transition by September 2015. However, in small companies, the activities for applying to the fifth edition（ISO 9001：2015）are delayed.
The possible causes of this are the following items.
-They do not understand the requirements of ISO 9001.
-They do not understand the organization’s QMS structure.
-They do not know how to revise the quality manual.
-No personnel knows quality assurance.
In this paper, I will explain how to understand the requirements of ISO 9001, the relationship between policy management and the structure of ISO 9001, and how to create process-oriented quality manuals.
